Good morning everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend. This week we are following our regular schedule. We still have our coin war going on throughout the building which is raising money for the Leukemia Foundation. Notes will be coming home this week for our Holiday Celebration.

This week we will be covering:

Spelling- We are covering closed syllables with the VC/CV spelling pattern. our words are intersection, excessive, obvious, disgusting, sluggish and planetary, obtuse, quadrangle, tessellation, scalene

Math-We are continuing to work on our division and decimal unit. Students are still increasing their number fluency by learning to do inverse operations to solve and check their work. For example, the students should be able to do a multiplication problem to check their answer to division problem. We will have their test next Thursday.

Science-Students are finishing the first drafts to the planet research projects and will be creating books for the 2nd and 3rd graders.

Daily 5- Students are continuing to work on their personal strategies and we are focusing on prefixes. Students should be able to break words with prefixes into the prefix and root word. They will be able to read determine meaning of unknown words.

Writing-Students are in the middle of writing a non-personal narrative about a major snow storm.

Have a great week!
