Superhero of the Week: \u00a0Giselle WronaGreen \u00a0 \u00a0Great Job, Giselle!<\/p>\n
We are learning:<\/p>\n
Spelling–This year spelling is a bit different, \u00a0as you may have noticed. \u00a0We will be working on a spelling sound and pattern each week and students will receive their words on Monday (much like last year). \u00a0This year, \u00a0students will also have content words from Language Arts, Math or Science\/Social Studies. \u00a0These would be words we are using in their subject areas. \u00a0The test will be on Friday. \u00a0Students will also have 3 cold words on Friday’s test. \u00a0These are words that follow the spelling pattern but are not given to study. \u00a0We would like students to transfer their knowledge to new words and then be able to use them in their writing.<\/p>\n
Daily 5\/CAFE–This week we are continuing to set individual reading goals with strategies for each student. \u00a0Your child should be able to tell you their goal and strategy. \u00a0We will focus this week on character traits. \u00a0Students will identify traits of a character based on the actions of the character in the text. \u00a0We will also be working some informational text and identifying features.<\/p>\n
Writer’s Workshop–Students have been identifying powerful language to use in their descriptive writing piece. \u00a0It is a narrative about their favorite place. \u00a0We will also be reviewing capitalization of proper nouns. \u00a0 This week is also the district writing prompt so we may be finishing up with our narrative at the beginning of next week.<\/p>\n
Math–Fourth graders just finished up with Unit One, which is a review of lines, line segments, angles and rays. \u00a0We will be moving on to place value and large numbers as well as some addition and subtraction of larger numbers. \u00a0Please keep practicing those facts!<\/p>\n
Third graders are working on some money review and will be finishing up with elapsed time. \u00a0We will be working with some problem solving using elapsed time as well. \u00a0A unit assessment will be coming up. \u00a0Details to follow!<\/p>\n
Social Studies–Third grade is working on Social Studies. \u00a0I usually do a couple weeks of Social Studies and will then switch to Science. \u00a0Third graders are working on the Geography of Michigan. \u00a0We are learning about the landforms and bodies of water of Michigan. \u00a0This week our focus will be natural resources of Michigan. \u00a0We will also learn about the positive and negative consequences of their use.<\/p>\n
Fourth Graders are enjoying their Project Based Learning time with Mr. David with both Science and Social Studies!<\/p>\n
We have also enjoyed our Michigan Made Fridays! \u00a0Students sample various Michigan Made products, identify the city and location where the product is made. \u00a0Thank you to Mrs. Brown for the delicious chips! \u00a0If you are interested in donating a product, just let me know. \u00a0We do this with Mrs. Morrison’s class as well.<\/p>\n
Have a sunny week!<\/p>\n
