Good morning!
Here is a look at our week:
Math- We will be finishing up Module 2 this week. This module only had 5 lessons, and the students are doing well with the concepts of measurement. To review at home, make sure your child knows the basic metric measurement conversions. For example, they should know there are 100 cm in 1 meter, there are 1,000 meters in 1 kilometer, there are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter, and so on. We will begin reviewing on Wednesday, and plan on taking our end of module assessment on Friday. You can look for the review to come home both Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Social Studies- The students received an extra credit option for social studies last week! They can make a map of the 5 United States regions using any materials they choose. I would like to have this turned in by November 15, so they have plenty of time to get creative! We also are going to plan on taking a Social Studies test next Tuesday, October 29. We will begin a review for that later this week.
Spelling- We are back to doing Flocabulary this week with regular vocabulary words. Students will need to know both the spelling and definition of each word. The list is: advantage, avoid, bold, coward, fierce, harsh, opponent, struggle, triumph, and wit.
Reading/Writing- We continue to work in our reading groups on chapter books at your student’s level. We are also working on editing and revising narrative stories to make them even better.
Science- We will continue to study Earth Science, and fast/slow changes to the Earth including weathering, erosion, landslides, earthquakes, and more.
Here are a few pictures from a Buddies activity we did last week on the 3 states of matter! Have a great week. 🙂
