Week 20

This week in Reading we will be reviewing how to read fluently. We will be practicing this using Readers Theaters. Students will get into groups and will practice a Readers Theater that they will fluently perform on Friday. We are also now doing our DRA - reading tests during class. For spelling we are doing Sort 44 with silent consonants. Remember, my class will be doing our class spelling bee the week of January 27th.

This week in Writing we are working on drafting our Imaginative stories. Students should be able to finish their at least 5 paragraph drafted story in class this week and should start editing and revising it. Next week we will be publishing it. It is due next Friday, January 24th.

This week in Math we are taking our Measurement Unit test and moving on to our Word Problem Unit. Tomorrow students will be taking their test.

In Social Studies we are still talking about how people got to Utah. Students are doing an in class research project with this, and they should be doing their Genealogy Project at home as well. Remember, the Genealogy Project is due next week, Jan 23rd for my class, Jan 24th for Miss Goldsborough's class.

Last but not least, we have been having problems with bullying and note writing in our class. Please take a minute to talk to your student about the importance of being nice to everyone and showing them respect.
