Art to Remember
Art to Remember packets recently went home with your child. Please notice that the packet (with or without orders) is due back at school by Tuesday, October 20th!
Subject Update:
- Spelling - Lesson 8 is a review of lessons 1-7. The students will be tested over words from these lessons in a different way than our regular lesson tests. Students will need to understand and apply the spelling rules taught in previous lessons in order to identify a misspelled word in a row of words. You may want to practice identifying misspelled words in a similar format using the words from lessons 1-7.
- English - The students will begin the week reviewing what they have learned about writing fantastic introductory paragraphs for expository essays. Then we will begin Unit 5 about capitalization and punctuation.
- Reading - We will begin to focus on another important reading skill - visualizing. Students will learn to use story details to help them understand or "picture" the text. While working on this reading skill, students will be reading many tall tales. The characters, settings, and events in tall tales are wildly exaggerated - providing wonderful details to help us visualize the stories. Reading Project - Students should be finishing up the reading of their mysteries and starting to complete their rough draft story maps.
- Science - We will continue to learn about plants producing their own food. We will even sing a little song to help us remember the things plants need in order to make food through the process of photosynthesis!
- Social Studies - The students will discover that many early English setters came to North America in search of religious freedom. We will read about the Pilgrims and the Puritans.
- Mrs. Strong's Math Class - We will learn the order of operations and how to solve problems involving variables. We will also discuss certain math properties and try to show examples of each using algebraic equations!!
