Kernels for Compliments
The students are close to earning another reward for all of the compliments they receive as a group. I am so proud of my class when I hear from another teacher or adult in the building that my students are showing good character. Great job, class! Any student who is reading this,... remind me Monday about this compliment and I will add more kernels to the bag!
Subject Update:
Science and Social Studies (Homeroom)
- Science - The students will be applying what they know about the scientific process by developing an investigation of their own about paper airplanes. On Monday, we will talk about the rules and expectations of the project, as well as instructions for making a paper plane. Students will have Monday and Tuesday evening to complete their experiments before sharing their results with the class on Wednesday. A test over the introductory chapter in the textbook about science tools, inquiry skills, and the scientific method is scheduled for Friday, September 26th!
- Social Studies - The students will be testing on Chapter 4 on Tuesday, September 23rd! Then we will do some work with latitude and longitude before moving on to Chapter 5 which begins with a look at the lost colony of Roanoke.
Language Arts Block
- Spelling - Lesson 4 focuses on the prefixes re, de, and pre.
- English - The students are working on a class book of subject/predicate poems. This book is providing a creative way to reinforce subjects and predicates while working on the conventions of writing. As we work to finish this book, we will also learn about the implied subject of "you" in imperative sentences, conjunctions, and correcting run-on sentences.
- Reading - We will begin working on the reading strategy of summarizing. Students will learn how to organize details from a story onto a story map before using the information to create a more concise summary. Don't forget,... students should be reading their book choices and completing the worksheet for the "Memory Bag" items that will be shared on Tuesday, September 30th!!
Math Classroom
- Math - The students will be reviewing multiplication using patterns, estimating products, and multiplying by 1-digit numbers. Then we will work on multiplying larger numbers. Students should still be practicing basic facts to become more fluent!
