Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. This week is a busy week in room 26. Here are our topics:

Spelling- We are working on long and short ‘u’ sounds. Students will be completing their regular Spelling homework. Please make sure that students are actually looking the words up and not just making up their own definitions. It is costing points to the students not following the directions. The words are:

disrupt, reluctant, substance, excuse, costume, method, magnitude, exchange, exploration, region

Math- Students are working on adding and subtracting decimals. They will be looking at money and non-money decimals. We are also looking at place value and using models to represent decimal problems.

Science- As we continue on our force and motion unit, students will be creating graphs that compare distance to slope. They will also be describing motion using a point of reference and speed details.

Writing- Students are working on their historical narratives, with a focus on sensory details. They are also going to begin writing their first opinion piece on the Chromebooks.

Reading-We are beginning reading groups this week with each group being assigned a chapter book and tasks to be completed during Daily 5. Each student will also continue working on their individual strategy.

Information on the upcoming Halloween Celebration will also be coming out soon. Please return the camp permission slips with the deposit! Have a great week!

Mr. Hawkins
