Week 10

This week in reading we are learning how to identify the meaning of words and phrases in a particular text. We are also learning about words that pertain to Greek Mythology such as Herculean. For spelling this week we are doing Sort 17. These words have the long -a sound in them and are separated into sorts by the syllable that the long -a sound is in. We also have another Language Arts test coming up this Friday.

In writing we are finishing our Haunted House story. The story should be about 5 paragraphs long. Students need an introduction, a conclusion, and a middle. They need to tell about the 3 "haunted things" they see in each room and need to have a vivid verb and a prepositional phrase showing the where, when, or how they saw something or did something in each room. Besides this, students also need to complete their checklist in class to make sure their story has everything in it that they need. This story is due this Friday, October 25th. 

In math this week we are finishing up Unit 2. Students will be taking their test tomorrow, Tuesday. This will cover multiplication of 1 digit by 4 digit numbers, 2 digit by 2 digit numbers, and long division. Then we will be moving on to fractions. For the next 2 weeks we will be focusing on what fractions are, how to add unit fractions, identify them from pictures, etc . . . 

If your student has been invited to Double Dosing this week, please remind your student to come! This especially goes for PM students who need to come to school at 8 am. Please make sure they come on time to Double Dosing so that they can get all of the extra support and help that they can.
