This week we are finishing up our social studies unit. An online study guide will be posted tomorrow. We are also finishing up our math unit- the math study guide is going home tonight and is in your child’s backpack. The math test is this Wednesday, the social studies test is this Thursday.
Homework:
- Study your math study guide. The math test is Wednesday!
- Complete a weekly spelling activity.
A Student Progress Report is coming home this week covering social studies. I have highlighted the missing information including your child’s current grade and if they are missing any assignments. If they have missing assignments they must be completed and returned by Friday 3/10/17. No exceptions. If they have missing assignments the grade at the top will not include it and therefore will change- for the better or the worse (if they don’t turn it in).
Every parent MUST sign the progress report and return it tomorrow. If it is not returned your child will call home until it is brought back to school. The assignment descriptions are posted below so they you can make it up.
Schools-past and present assignment social studies
Timeline of personal Events- use the 2nd timeline with 9 events. Each event must include a picture (a photo or you can draw it), a caption, and the year it happened. https://squareheadteachers.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/blank-timeline-templates.pdf
Comparing the past and present We read “The Oxcart man” in school. Students chose one thing to contrast between what happened in the past verses what happens in today’s world. You can choose things such as “How people cook”, “How people travel”, “what clothes people wear” etc. I have included notes from the book to help you.
ALSO a big THANK YOU for the parent volunteers we have had into our classroom to read so far. The children are loving it and are so excited to hear there family come in and read to their classmates. If you have not signed up there are still slots available. I have extra calendars if you need another one.
