This week in reading we are continuing to work on inferences. This week, we are focusing on making inferences in informational texts. We do this by combining what we know with what the text says and then we make meaning out of it. For spelling we are skipping to Sort 8 Unusual Plurals this week. The words that end in f or fe change to yes when they become plural. Other words we have to make a vowel change when we make the word plural. Sheep and deer have no changes done to them; they are singular and plural. Please make sure that your student turns in their 20 points of Spelling Homework Activities as well as their Reading Log each week.
In writing we are continuing to write our "How Tos." We are working on drafting and revising our papers so that we have really good, descriptive steps. Students should have finished their Pre-writing today in class. If they did not, they were supposed to bring it home to finish it there. Next week we will start rewriting and publishing them on our writing blog. They are due on October 4th. If students still have not turned in their handwritten final draft for their Personal Narrative, they MUST get that in by this Friday or else they will receive a 0 on it.
In math we are finishing our Factors and Multiples Unit. Tomorrow, Tuesday, students will be taking their Post Test for this unit in class. We will also be taking the Pre Test for our next unit on Multiplication and Division tomorrow. We will be taking these tests online. Your student should be bringing home an instruction sheet with their username and password telling you how to get on to our Math Book's website: https://www-k6.thinkcentral.com/. I will show your student in class how to get online to take their tests, access their book, etc. . . We have also just started taking our multiplication timed tests. Students have 1 minute to answer 20 questions for each multiplication fact. This is being done to earn a party. Also, please make sure that your student does their homework and turns it in on time.
Thanks for all of your help! Again, let me know if you have any questions!
