Subject Update:
Science and Social Studies (Homeroom)
- Science - The students will review Lesson 3 before taking an open book assessment over the information. Ask your student to explain about the four different air masses as well as the difference between weather and climate.
- Social Studies - We are learning all about the different jobs people had in early colonial times. Many of these jobs depended on the resources of the particular region. The students also are learning about the triangular trade routes taken to transport goods between the 13 colonies, England, Africa, and the West Indies. We have talked about the demand for certain goods in England leading to the exchange of those goods for items needed in the colonies. The students will experience the ideas of supply and demand in their upcoming trade fair. Please remember that every student must bring something homemade to trade on Thursday, November 13th!!
Language Arts Block
- Spelling - Lesson 12 focuses on the use of the suffix -ous to form adjectives.
- English - The students will begin a unit on nouns. We will start by identifying nouns in sentences and distinguishing between common and proper nouns. Then we will learn the many spelling rules for forming plural nouns.
- Reading - We will be reading a story about Sequoyah to continue our practice of making inferences. The students are starting to recognize how important it is to provide specific details from the text to support their inferences. Don't forget that biography book choices are due by Wednesday, November 12th!
Math Classroom
- Math - The students will finish an enrichment activity called "Flipping Pages" which applies the "Predict and Test" problem solving strategy learned in this chapter. Then the students will complete a homework review over lessons 5-9. I have moved the Chapter 4 Test to Friday, November 14th!
