Week 12

Please see below for a change in the science tests for next week!

This week in…

Spelling: We took our spelling quiz this morning.

Grammar: We discussed capitalization rules.

Reading: In reading we discussed point of view. We read two different books, one written in first person point of view and another written in third person point of view.

Writing: The kids have continued to work on opinion/persuasive writing. We looked at some Scholastic News Debate articles on various topics and the kids were able to choose a side.

Science: We wrapped up our discussion on simple machines.

Math: We learned about the different multiplication properties and division rules. We also began discussing factors and multiples.

Next week in…

Spelling: There will be a new spelling list for next week. The kiddos will write these words down in their agenda on Monday. Mrs. Burns will give her kiddos their list.

Grammar:

Reading: We will continue to discuss point of view. There will be a quiz on Friday.

Writing: The kids will begin writing their opinion essays.

Science: We will take the Forces & Motion test on WEDNESDAY and the Simple Machine test on FRIDAY. This is a change from what was originally stated. We decided doing both on the same day would be too much. The kids were given their study guides yesterday. The Forces & Motion study guide should be complete by Monday so we can discuss the answers.

Math: We will begin multiplying one digit numbers.
