HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MISS TREFONAS'S CLASSROOM:
.
SPELLING : Lesson 4 and word of the week.
.
ENGLISH: We will be finishing Unit 1 "Sentences" this week. The test will be on Monday, September 28th. We will be doing a review in class prior to the test, however, your child should still be responsible and study at home. There are a lot of review pages at the end of each Unit in the textbook.
.
READING: We are working on the reading strategy of summarizing. We are learning how to write cummulative summaries in 20 words or less.
.
SCOOPer Reading: I am impressed with the book activities I have met with so far. Your child should have at least one book read and activity completed/turned in by the end of the month.
.
SOCIAL STUDIES: We will be completing Chapter 4 this week. Your child will be getting a "How to Study" sheet and filling it out on Weds. Along with this sheet, I will have the students attach the notes, worksheets etc. that are being stored in their social studies pocket to the "How To Study" sheet . We even highlight important study information from these notes and sheets.
Hopefully, your child has been putting and keeping all the sheets in the social studies pocket. They have been reminded many times as each sheet has been done, graded and returned.
.
SCIENCE: The Scientific Method is what we are focusing on this week.
.
MATH for Miss Trefonas's class..... You should know from the newsletter I sent home that we are doing timed multiplication fact tests.
We will be estimating, multiplying by 1 digit numbers, and multiplying by 2 and 3 digit numbers.
I emphasize that your child needs to have their facts memorized.
Quiz over chapter 2, lessons 1 -3 will be given on Wednesday.
