Math: Last week was our iReady diagnostic testing. We are working on all things fractions for the next two weeks. Our concentration is simplification, equivalent fractions, +/- fractions, and fractions, percents, and decimals.
Reading: We are well on our way to finishing our novel, Hatchet. Over the next two weeks we will be using the novel to identify the types of conflict, character development, sequencing, analyzing quotes/ figurative language and using textual evidence to support their opinion.
Spelling/Grammar/Writing: Our spelling list for the coming week will focus on double consonants, final -le. We will look into the meaning of the words, completing analogies, as well as practicing our dictionary skills. In grammar we are working on identifying helping verbs and we will be using acquired knowledge to parse sentences, identifying subject verb agreement, prepositions/objects of the prepositions, editing using proof marks, and correcting fragment/run-on sentences.
Science: Students are learning about the 3 states of matter.
Social Studies: We have learned about the Northeast and we are moving on to the Midwest and Southeast. We will be looking at the states and capitals for the Midwest & Southeast, as well as, the land, natural resources, culture, people, and landmarks
Religion: Students have familiarize themselves with the parts of Mass and have been practicing for their student-led mass on Tuesday. They will also be learning about evangelization.
Please be sure to revisit the dress code for 3-8th.
Thank you so much for your constant support and cooperation.
