- In ELA, students continue to read their fantasy books, and write me letters about what they are reading. This week's focus was on character traits. All students completed new word sorts this week, and will continue to practice applying their new spelling rule for their test next Friday. We also reviewed main idea. Students worked in groups to find the main idea of a social studies passage. Our new concept for this week was foreshadowing. I just started a new read aloud and the class has been practicing identifying where the author uses foreshadowing. Next week the class will be learning about point of view.
- In SS, the class has been learning about colonial times. This week, we focused on colonial trades and schooling. Students also learned about the 13 colonies and labeled them on a map. Next week, the class will be learning about the causes of the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence.
- We are just finishing up Unit 9 in math. The class has been focusing on division and division rules. Yesterday students practiced dividing with remainders. The class also cycled through math stations. Next week we will be moving on to long division. As always, please make sure your child is practicing their multiplication facts, as this will make the process of learning long division much easier.
