This week in Language Arts... students have been given a new class text. We are studying character development using books with Native American characters. We will also work on our decoding unknown words from context skills during this unit. Students have their reading pace marked out in their agendas, they have a calendar in their Language Arts folders, and the dates are also posted on ANGEL. Students will meet every Tuesday for the next four weeks to discuss their reading in a small group. They will meet with me throughout the week to work on character development. Students should be reading their Language Arts text and working on their job sheets at home -- this counts toward their reading log.
We are having a full Word Study week so students will have Word Study HW each night this week.
This week in Math... we are continuing to study graphs. We'll learn about Stem and Leaf plots as well as practice making them. We'll also visit the computer lab on Friday to make a line graph with the weather data we collected on the computer!
HOMEWORK:
Monday - No Math HW
Tuesday - Wks: Stem and Leaf Plots
Wednesday - No Math HW
Thursday - Wks: Median, Mode, and Range with Stem and Leaf Plots
Friday -No Homework
This week in Science... we are exploring the difference between Chemical and Physical changes. We are also working on our Matter/Element research project. We'll visit the library Wednesday/Thursday depending on the section and choose our elements to begin research! Some of this project will be done in school but students will definitely need to spend some time working on it at home as well, especially when we get to the final draft. The project is due Wednesday, November 4th for Atlantic and Thursday, November 5th for Pacific.
