Hello!
**Sorry this post did not post correctly! Here's the full version!
October is underway, and we are finally feeling some fall weather! I am loving it - fall is my FAVORITE season!
Announcements:
Updates:
Math: We are coming to the end of Topic 2 and our Assessment will be Friday. Students should have taken home Topic 1 retests tonight. please have students return these to school for portfolios! Topic 2 has covered estimation, rounding decimals, adding & subtracting decimals, and problem solving! We will review in class Friday and a study guide will be sent home as practice.
Reading: We have just completed Chapter 8 of Number the Stars. Students seem to be interested in the story and are learning a lot about the historical events of the Holocaust. We will continue to read a chapter each day over the next two weeks. Ask your student to summarize what we have read so far and predict what may be happening next!
Writing: We have started our narrative writing pieces and have completed first drafts. Over the next weeks we will be working on adding details, leads, conclusions, paragraphs and writing dialogue - lots to do!
Science: Our planets unit is wrapping up this week! Student have created great posters about all of our planets. Our first science assessment will be on Thursday! I will send home a few ways to help students study and what topics they need to know. On Friday we will continue our space studies by learning about day and night!
Enjoy the week ahead! As always email with questions/concerns, etc.
