Update: week of October 23-27
Spelling- we are switching to week 25 for our studies this week because these are weather words which go along with the current science unit. The packet this week is due on Wednesday and the test is Thursday because we do not have school on Friday. English- we are continuing our research of nouns! There will be lots of good practice and skill application throughout the week to help master these grammar skills. Social studies- we are continuing our research of Egypt and the Nile River Valley civilizations. Remember that the work we do in class and on Google classroom is to develop a greater understanding of the information in the unit. These things are not meant to be used as a study guide. I always send home a study guide at least a week in advance if all things that will be on a test. We just started this new unit so it will be awhile before we have another test.
End of Quarter 1
We have had a good first quarter! The quarter ended last Friday. Tomorrow, Friday, October 20th report cards will be sent home. Along with those, there will be a form to sign up for parent teacher conferences with the youngest student in the family. Please be sure to get those turned in on Monday if you would like to have a conference. Below, I have included some pictures from some fun from 1st quarter! Looking forward to helping each child continue to grow and learn as we continue through this year!
Week of October 16-20
Good Morning! In Social Studies this week we are finishing unit 3 and our study of Africa. The unit 3 test will be on Thursday, October 19th. The students are aware of this and were given the study guide last Wednesday the 11th. In English, we have been editing and revising our narrative writing pieces and will be rewriting and typing them this week. We will begin our next unit on nouns at the end of the week. In spelling, we are working on week 8- words with the /oo/ sound with the spelling patterns: oo, u, ew, ue, u-consonant-e, ou, oe, o-consonant-e, ui, eau. Last week was also the end of first quarter so we are officially in quarter 2! Report cards will go home Friday. Wishing everyone a great week!
Week of October 2-6
As we finally finish up our standardized testing today, here are the skills we will be working on in class: Spelling - week 6 spelling skill- words with the long e sound with a variety of spellings. The packet is due Thursday and the test is Friday. Social Studies - We will be diving back into our study of Africa. We finished up our study of the physical features of the land and the important vocabulary with a quiz last week, but now we will use that as we dive deeper into the history of early African civilizations, trade, etc. English - We will begin learning about personal narratives and begin preparing to write our own next week. The personal narrative writing piece will be finished on Thursday, October 19th. Have a great rest of the week!
