Mrs.Alvarado’s Class News Friday, Oct. 28th
Dear Parents,
Thank you for coming in to conference about your child!!! It was so nice to share your child’s successes! I feel like the class has shown so much growth already this year! Take a look at what next week looks like:
Reading- We were going to finish up the book Wishes, Kisses, and Pigs this week but I over planned! With the shortened days we just did not finish everything so we will finish up next week! Our focus lessons will be on comprehension, summarizing, antonyms, synonyms, and compare/contrast.
Grammar- We are reviewing pronouns at the beginning of the week. Then we are moving onto story elements.
Social Studies- We have been learning about different countries in Europe that made claims in the new world. We will be having a test on Chapter 4 on Wednesday. A study guide came home today to help prepare for the test. The next unit in science is on “Sound and Light”. I am going to break up the unit into two parts. I am going to teach Light first and then give a quiz. Then I am going to teach Sound and give a quiz. The information on “Light” is in Chapter 4, lesson 2 in the Science Book.
Spelling- Words with an r-influenced e sound that is spelled –er, -ear, -ere, -eer.
Math- We have been working on multiplying 3 digits by two digits. We will be having a test over Chapter 9 on Tuesday. Chapter 10 begins long division! Hold onto your hats it’s going to be a bumpy ride! Long division usually takes a while to master so be patient!
Writer’s Workshop- We are working in the writing trait “Organization”. Our lessons will be on transition words and sequencing to organize writing.
Have a fabulous fall weekend! Mrs.Alvarado
