Week 11

This week in reading we are reading Social Studies and Science texts and learning the meaning of words in them. Spelling this week is Sort 18 and is similar to last week's sort but this time with the long -i sound.

In writing we are starting our Poetry Unit. We are learning about similes and metaphors and writing 10 different kinds of poems. By next week we will have written all 10 different poems.

In math we are finishing up our fractions unit. On Friday students will be taking their test for this unit. It is a pretty easy unit and I hope that all students will pass this test. There are only 8 questions about identifying fractions, what a unit fraction is, adding and subtracting fractions, and mixed numbers vs fractions greater than 1.

The end of the 1st term we thought was ending this Friday, but it is actually ending on Friday November 15th. This means that everything for last week and this week WILL actually be on this terms grades. The next 2 weeks work will go on the 2nd term grades.
