Mrs.Alvarado’s Class News Friday, Jan. 20th We have had a great learning week! Take a look at what we are working on for next week: Reading- We are reading The Egypt Game. Our focus for lessons next week will be on comprehension, vocabulary, summarizing, and sequencing. I hope your child has been working on their mystery packets for their independent reading projects. It has been fun to have a theme for the month of January. These packets will be due next Friday Jan.27th. Grammar- We are learning about adjectives. Math- We have been working on Chapter 13 which covers Geometry. We will be reviewing Chapter 13 on Monday and will be testing on Tuesday, Jan. 24th. Chapter 14 covers fractions. Social Studies- We have been learning about the Middle and Southern Colonies. We will be reviewing Chapter 6 on Monday and testing on Tuesday. I will send home a study guide to help with the review! Then we will be moving back to Science on Wednesday. We will be starting a unit on the solar system. I will also be sending home a project sheet on Wednesday. We will be making solar system models as part of this unit. More information to come! Writer’s Workshop- We started an essay contest this week for writing. Our theme was “My Hero”. These essays will be submitted as a school wide contest. Next week we will continue with the writing trait of “Word Choice”. Spelling- We are learning words with a final soft c and g sound. Have a great weekend! Mrs.Alvarado
