Happy New Year!
First of all, I wanted to say thank you so much for the extremely kind and generous holiday gifts. They were very appreciated and made me feel extremely special. I really enjoy working with your children everyday and I am looking forward to the rest of the year.
Reading & Writing: This week in reading, we'll continue our character study. Each student will be assigned a differentiated novel. The novels will be used to study the character development of each main character. Students will be responsible for reading a set number of pages each day. They will be given class time to complete the work. Any unfinished work, which should not be much if time is used wisely, will be assigned for homework. During writing this week, we'll research for passion projects and continue work on our ABC book.
Social Studies & Science: This week we will wrap up Unit 2. Students will take the final test tomorrow. They will be able to use their study guide and notecards on the test. Following the test, we will dive into our second science unit which will focus on Earth Science. Students will study rocks and minerals. They will also study how the Earth changes and what factors contribute to our changing planet.
Math: Thursday of this week, we'll take our final Unit 3 assessment. Students received a study guide today, the study guide is due Wednesday. For the remainder of the week, we will review for the assessment and work on a decimal riddle assignment.
