The Third Week of School:
Science: We will be working in chapter 9 on the water cycle. On Thursday, there will be an open book/open note graded review. We will take this review together so I can model how to use the book to find answers.
Social Studies: We will focus on science.
Math: We will finish the study of chapter 1. There will be a chapter 1 test on Friday, September 14. Students received a study guide today (Friday, September 7th). In addition to lessons 1-5 on the study guide, students will be tested on lesson 6 (problem solving using logical reasoning). I will have students add this to their study guide on Monday. On Tuesday, September 18th students will be tested on their basic math addition facts. Students will need to complete 40 addition problems (adding numbers ranging from 1 to 10) in 2 minutes. I changed the date of the addition test due to the chapter 1 test taking place on Friday.
Spelling: This week in spelling we will work on Lesson 3. This lesson will focus on words with more short vowels.
Reading: Next week we will continue to teach the students how to utilize the essential reading strategies. In our classes we will demonstrate how the application of these strategies will maximize student comprehension of a range of literary materials.
