November 2-6
November reading logs can be turned in on November 30. They will also be accepted December 1 but not after that day.
Reading/Writing: We will continue working in our second selection titled Grandma's Records. Throughout this selection we will use our questioning strategy. We will also indentify relationships between characters and ideas. We will practice drwaing/making conclusions. For grammar and word work, we will be focusing on plurals and using dictionary guide words. We will also work on identifying proper nouns. Our spelling words for this selection have the long /o/ sound. We will begin our first writing assignment for the second quarter on Wednesday.We will be writing a character sketch and we will look at guidelines and an example on Wednesday. The assignment, like all writing assignments, are classwork and will be done in class. They will be turned in no later than Monday morning. If your child works on his/her writing assignment at home they need to make sure it comes back to school so they can work on it in class as well. We will also review out formative assessments we took a couple of weeks ago.
Math: In math, we are beginning to tell time. We will tell time to the hour, half hour and minute. We will also practice our calendar skills and elapsed time. Elapsed time seems to be very difficult and should be practiced as much as possible at home. There will be a quiz on Friday covering all concepts from this week. We will also review our formative assessments that we took a couple weeks ago.
Science: We will be changing Units from Life Science to Earth Science. We will begin chapter 5 which is Water. There are only 2 lessons in this chapter and the chapter test for chapter 5 will be next Tuesday. A study guide will go home next Monday. Please be sure your child rereads the chapter prior to the test and is familiar with what happens to water at various stages. They should be VERY familiar with the water cycle.
Social Studies: We will finish up discussing natural resources and what we can do to conserve them. We will also look at a mountain community as well as a water community and discuss reasons why people might live there. We will also discuss the natural resources found in both of these types of communities.
Health: In health, we will continue to discuss different ways to communicate. We will talk about the word apologize and discuss why it is difficult for some people to apologize.
