A Peek at this Week

 I hope you all had a fantastic Labor Day weekend!  This Tuesday will be our last smart start day of the school year, so it will be our last half day.  Starting Wednesday we will begin full days.  Please look at the schedule link I sent you in your email.  Below is what we will be working on in our curriculum for this week:


ELA:

Reading- We will be reading stories and articles, and will be finding the main idea and summary of what we read.

Word Work- We will begin working with our first list of word work word parts: uni, phone, man, bio, aqua, and pre. 

Writing- We will continue to work on coming up with ideas to write about and building our writing stamina in our Writer's Notebook.


Math:  We will take our Unit 1 Pre-assessment, and will begin modeling rectangular prisms and finding their volume.


Science:  We will continue to look at different models of the stars.  We will be looking at where the stars are in the sky and the distances between those stars and Earth.


Social Studies:  We will begin to look at how our textbook is set up and begin to think about the early explorers of the Americas.

Important Days:

Tuesday- Half Day

Wednesday- Starts our First Full Day of School
