Happy Thanksgiving to all! I hope you are enjoying this wonderful break and spending time with loved ones. Here are our plans for the week:

Spelling
Words
1. chill
2. chick
3. chop
4. chip
5. chin
6. chimp
7. funny
8. was
9. but
10. out

Reading: We are continuing to use informational text features (bold words, table of contents, glossaries, indexes, headings, photos, labels, and captions) to locate information about a topic. Students should be able to gather facts (key details) about a topic by looking at the text features and using these features to find information in a text. We will continue to practice these skills.

Writing: We are finishing publishing our informational pieces about a season. We will begin gathering information about another topic this week, using nonfiction (informational) texts and a thinking map to record our key details.

Math: We will begin learning how to use nonstandard units to measure such as cubes, paper clips, etc. We will learn how line up our measuring tools without gaps or overlaps so that we can measure objects accurately. I will post the unit pretest so that parents can begin studying with their children.

Science: We are continuing to look at season and weather patterns. We are noticing changes in temperature, hours of daylight, clothing worn, and characteristics of each season. We look at data and informational texts to note patterns and changes in weather.

Social Studies: We will take our unit 1 social studies test online this week. I will attempt to post a study guide, but bear with me, because I haven’t done this before 🙂
