This week at a glance….9/24-9/28

Good afternoon families~

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful fall weekend!  Here’s a look ahead.

ELA~
Our book study- Auggie & Me will officially begin this week.  I will be meeting with groups and creating norms as to how each group should look and sound like.  Students will declare their reading goals on our Cafe board too.

Spelling~ Week #3.

Writing~ We will continue Narrative writing with our topic-Roller Coasters.  We will look at how to add details and examples to our narratives, by using our five senses.

Math~ 4th- Cont. lesson 7 tomorrow. Lesson 8 & 9.

5th~ Continue the mid-module review tomorrow. Tuesday, 9/25- Mid-Module Assessment. Students will need to use their review, problem sets, and exit slips to help prepare for the Mid-Module Assessment.  The rest of the week, we will complete lesson 9 & 10.

*ALL students need to complete any incomplete sprints at home, as this will help sharpen their mental math skills.*

Zearn.org is another great practice tool!

Science~ We completed one mystery last week as a whole class.  Each grade will complete their own mystery this week. I am excited to do this, as it’s always fun doing experiments!

Social Studies~ Continue government unit.

LEADER IN ME~ We will finish up Habit 1- Being Proactive this week. Students will work on the differences of a growth and fixed mindset.  We will discuss how a Growth Mindset is one to live by.  We will also look at our NWEA scores and create goals for winter testing.
