Week 19

In reading this week we are spending some time reviewing story structure. Students will soon be taking their DRA (reading test) so we are reviewing to make sure they can do their best on it. For spelling we are doing Sort 33. These words have the /chur/, /zhur/, and /yur/ sounds in them spelled a couple different ways. We will be doing our class spelling bee the week of January 27th, so please help your students study for this by then.

In writing we are starting our Imaginative Unit. Students will be writing a story based off of a picture and a little information about it. This will be due in a couple of weeks.

In math we are continuing our unit on Measurement. We will be talking about mass, capacity, and time. students will have their test on this unit next week.

In social studies we are beginning to talk about how different cultural groups got to Utah and learning more about them. In order to help students connect this to their own lives, students will be doing a genealogy project. This week students will receive a handout with the instructions on what to do. Basically, they need to write a 3 paragraph paper, answering the questions on the handout, as well as filling out a map. This assignment will be due on January 23rd for my class and January 24th for Miss Goldsborough's class.

Today in our Class Meeting we made individual New Years Resolutions for class. We are going to be working on these resolutions for the rest of the school year. Please ask your student what their resolution is so that you know what they want to be working on in class. When we meet for Parent Teacher Conferences next month, we will discuss how your student is doing on their resolution.
