Happy November. There is no school tomorrow on Tuesday the 5th. This is for election day. The PTA is holding a bake sale and the sign-up for it can be found on Class Dojo. Conference time slot sheets will be coming home today stapled in your students’ planner. If you are unable to make the conference time on the paper, please let me know and we will find one that works. We have an assembly on Friday. Report cards will be coming home at conferences.

This week:

Spelling- https://quizlet.com/_413ygy -This week we will start focusing on the meaning of the spelling words, as much as the spelling. The Friday test will require students to understand the word and to know how to spell it.

Math: We are moving into multi-digit multiplication in Module 3. Students should be keeping up with module 3 on Khan Academy and should have completed all assignments up to quiz 3.

Writing: We are still working on the structures of informational text in both reading and writing. We are working on a piece of writing about a natural disaster that follows the “descriptive” text structure.

Reading: We are still covering text features, text structure of an informational text, and we using context clues to determine the meaning of unknown words in any text. Book clubs and reading groups will continue, as well as 25 minutes of reading each and every night.

Science: Today we start our unit on waves. We are focusing on different types of waves and how you measure those waves.

Social Studies: We are beginning our unit on immigration in the United States. We will be learning about the settlements throughout the US and how people migrated or immigrated from one place to another.

Have a great week!
