Robert Crown Field Trip
On Tuesday, I will send home the permission slip for the Robert Crown Field Trip. Please complete and return the bottom portion of the form by Friday, October 16th.
Subject Update:
- Spelling - Lesson 7 focuses on words with soft and hard g sounds.
- English - Students have learned that expository writing needs to start with a strong introductory paragraph. They learned that they must "hook" the reader, or rather grab the reader's attention, with their very first sentence. Next week, we will work on adding sentences to our introductory paragraph that "reel the reader in" and finally "release" the main idea to the reader.
- Reading - We will do some final activities focusing on summarizing stories. October Book Project - Students should currently be reading their mystery books. While reading, students may want to jot a few notes on a post-it like we practiced in class. This will help them complete their rough draft on the story map worksheet. Don't forget the project and book need to be turned in by Wednesday, October 28!
- Science - We will begin our next Science unit "Interactions Among Living Things." Chapter 5 will discuss energy and ecosystems.
- Social Studies - Students will learn how the search for the Northwest Passage led to the founding of French and Dutch colonies in North America.
- Mrs. Strong's Math Class - Students should review Chapter 3, Lessons 1-4 for a quiz scheduled on Wednesday, October 14! Then we will move ahead to Chapter 4 about algebraic expressions and equations.
