Hello everybody,
I hope everyone who made it out had a great time at family night. Our third quarter is coming to a close this week. It is also a short week, as there will be no school Friday.
This Week's Classroom Activities
MATH: In math lessons this week we will be continuing with our fractions unit. We will be learning about equivalent fractions. To do so we'll use our number sense and multiplication/division skills, as well as using hands-on manipulatives and visual representations of fractions. We'll also work on putting fractions into their simplest form and comparing fractions.
READING: In reading this week we'll continue to practice our ability to read and summarize a piece of text in our own words. We'll be looking at a piece of text from our social studies unit about slavery in the USA. This summarizing skill will be necessary for our social studies project that begins this week.
WRITING: In writing this week we'll be putting together the timeline of our lives, and use it as the entry point to writing our own autobiographies.
SOCIAL STUDIES: In social studies this week we will be learning a little bit more about the differences between Northern and Southern States during the time of slavery. We'll also be introduced to our final project for this unit that will have students working as partners to study and report on an aspect of the issue of slavery in the USA.
GRAMMAR: In grammar we will spend a second class looking at prepositions in the English language and how they're used in our writing and speaking.
I hope everyone has a great week! All the best,
Jordan Rose
