Week4 Friday, Sept.5th
Dear Parents,
We had another great week of learning! A few reminders….Monday Sept. 29th the independent reading project is due. We also have an early release day coming up on Wednesday, September 16th. Tonight is movie night at Garrison Mill starting at 6:30.
Here’s a look at next week:
Reading- We are reading “Frindle” by Andrew Clements. This author has written many great books so if you are looking for something new for your student to read any of his books would be an excellent choice. The books appeal to boys and girls. We will finish the book next week. We have worked on comparing/contrasting characters in the book. We made a character chart to describe the main character. We also worked on comprehension.
Spelling- Next week our focus will be on suffixes, prefixes, and frequent spelling patterns for the “j” sound.
Grammar- We have been studying nouns, next week we will learn how to make possessive nouns in sentences.
Math- We having been working on solving equations when one variable is missing in the number sentence. We will be wrapping up Chapter 2 with a test next Thursday.
Science- We will start a weather unit next week! I have many fun books and activities planned to share that will help us learn more about weather!
Writers Workshop- We have been focusing on ‘Ideas and Content” in our writing. Next week we will be exploring the phrase …A picture is worth a thousand words….
Have a great weekend!!! Hopefully the weather will continue to cool off! Mrs.Alvarado
