Math: We have had our MidChapter checkpoint for CH. 2 after reviewing what might still be a bit difficult we are diving into solving multi-step multiplication problems and multiplying 2- 4 digit numbers with regrouping. We will also be preparing to take our next text. It is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, November 8th optional study session schedule will be out soon.
Reading: We’ve gotten to the interesting part of Frindle. The conflict has just started and we are going to be seeing how Nick navigates Mrs. Granger’s class. For these next chapters of Frindle we will be focusing on sequencing events, cause and effect, formulating an opinion and using evidence from the text to back up an opinion.
Spelling/Grammar/Writing: In spelling we are working on the long i sound through i, i consonant e, igh, y, and uy. Using our spelling list we will be focusing on sorting our words, using them in analogies, and word structure. In grammar we are parsing sentences as well as applying the rules of capitalization and punctuation into our editing.
Science: Students are continuing to work on their plants and animals unit.
Social Studies: We are learning all about the Northeastern Region! Students are studying the states and capitals within that region. Students will also be taking a test to identify the states and capitals within the region. They will be able to retake until they reach 100% mastery. The first test is this Friday, October 27th. We are learning about the Northeast region, specifically the land and water, natural resources, culture, and landmarks.
Religion/SEL: Month of October is the month of the Rosary we will be learning how to pray the rosary as well as the 4 types of mysteries. To conclude the month we will be making our own rosaries so that we can take them with us and pray them at home. Our SEL lessons center around setting boundaries and problem solving.
Please be sure to revisit the dress code for 1-4th grade.
Thank you so much for your constant support and cooperation!
