READING: This week in reading we will be focusing on context clues.

SCOOPer READING: This is our classroom reading incentive program.
Your child hopefullyexplained the program to you and showed you their folder.
They have to set a 1st Trimester goal and have a parent signature.
If you have any questions about how this works, ask your child to show you the sheet in their folder that explains SCOOPer Reading!
ENGLISH: Unit 1 - Sentences
This week we will be reviewing simple subjects and simple predicates.
Project Challenge students will receive enrichment assignments in lieu of the workbook assignment.
SOCIAL STUDIES: Chapter 4 - Lesson 2 "Different Worlds Collide" & Lesson 3 "Life in New
Spain" The students are taking notes which should be kept in their binder.
These notes will become study materials for the test. Also, graded
assignments need to be kept in their binder for the same reason.
SCIENCE: Introductory chapter on the inquiry tools scientists use.
MATH: The students were given a homework sheet on Friday which will be graded and returned to them on Tuesday. Please make sure you ask to see this. I give students the opportunity to correct any homework we graded together in class prior to giving the homework sheet. Homework sheets are usually given on Friday, unless I announce a different day to the class. I typically give one homework sheet worth 10 points a week.
Chapter 1 Test = Wednesday.
Next, we begin multiplication timed tests. A parent letter will be coming home next week regarding our timed tests.
Chapter 2 = Multiplication.
