Mrs.Alvarado’s Class News Friday, February 24th Dear Parents, We have had a great short week! We turned our Hero essays in for the contest today. The writing was very touching. I will be sending the writing home at the end of the year for you to see. Take a look at what we are doing next week: Reading- We are reading the book Soup by Robert Newton Peck. The class has had fun reading all of the mis-adventures of Rob and his best friend Soup. Next week our focus lessons will be on comprehension, summarizing, sequencing, and letter writing. Grammar- We are going to review what makes up a sentence. We are also going to review sentence types. (This is always on the CRCT!) I will be reviewing it again before CRCT time! Writer’s Workshop- We are going to be working in the writing trait of “Sentence Fluency” next week. We will be breaking up run-on sentences with the correct punctuation. Spelling- Our sort will have words with ph and gh in them! Social Studies- We finished up Chapter 7 with a test on Friday. We will be going to Chapter 8 in Social Studies. Chapter 8 teaches about all of the battles in the Revolutionary War, Thomas Jefferson, spies, patriots, and loyalists. Should be a fun week! The class has had fun this week talking about the British coming!!! Math- We are working in Chapter 18 in math. The class has learned to write fractions and decimals for models this week. Next week we will be comparing decimals, ordering decimals, and problem solving. We will finish up Chapter 18 with a test on Friday. Have a great weekend!!! Mrs.Alvarado
