Tuesday = Magazine Turn in Day!
Your child needs to bring a picture for an assignment we are doing on Monday.
The picture can be of anything appropriate as long as they are in the picture and can explain the event or what was happening when the picture was taken. In other words, they have a recollection of this picture! (No baby pictures....!!!)
It can be on copy paper or an actual picture. It needs to be no larger than 4 x 6!
HERE'S WHAT WE ARE UP TO THIS WEEK:
SPELLING: Lesson 4 Work due on Thursday. Final test on Friday. Word of the Week spelled correctly and the definition worth 1 bonus point!
ENGLISH: Subjects in imperative sentences, conjunctions, and editing run on sentences is what we will be learning this week!
We will be listening to SCHOOL HOUSE ROCKS - "Mr. Morton" and "Conjunction Junction"!
We are also writing Pyramid Poems which will be based on the picture being brought to school.
READING: This week we will be focusing on drawing conclusions, doing vocabulary activities, and an extended response as we read a selection in our reading anthology - "A BOY CALLED SLOW".
A vocabulary quiz will be given on Wednesday.
SCIENCE: We just got started on Weather and the Water Cycle. We will be learning about the different layers of the atmosphere, uneven heating of the earth, and different types of winds.
SOCIAL STUDIES: We will learn more about the conflicts between the Spanish Conquistadors and the Aztecs as Spain tries to establish colonies. The students will also learn about the Spanish Colony - "New Spain".
MATH:
We have started multiplication timed tests. Your child has a letter that you need to read, sign, and return to school. This letter informs you of the program we are doing in class which will count as a TEST GRADE. I strongly recommend a lot of drill and practice. Multiplication facts need to be MEMORIZED!
TIMED TESTS will be given daily!!! Students will have a yellow multiplication practice sheet for homework daily.
Monday = Chapter 2 - Lesson 2 Estimating Multiplication Products
Tuesday = Lesson 3 - Multiplying by 1 digit numbers
Wednesday = QUIZ over lessons 1- 3.
Thursday = HOMEWORK SHEET and we will be learning the Distributive Property of Multiplication.
Friday = Lesson 4 Multiplying by 2 digit numbers
