I apologize for the late update this week. I was out sick Tuesday and Wednesday :(


Reading: This week we are reviewing for our common assessments next week. We are specifically reviewing recounting, asking questions, and character traits. We will do this by reading chapters of Wayside School (they love this book) and practice identifying character traits, retelling the plot of the chapter, and asking questions about the chapter. On Friday we will review the types of questions we may see on the common assessment (since it is an online assessment) and play an online review game (they will love it!)

Writing: This week we will be finishing up our character trait paragraphs on google docs. We will fix any spelling or capital errors as well.

Science/Social Studies: This week we discovering the difference between a mixture and a solution in science by eating/drinking both! We will also be narrowing our cardboard challenges down to one idea by compromising the ideas we all have. We will do final sketches so we can start building next week.


***Practice Ideas at Home :

1. Please practice retelling through typing by reading a picture book at home and typing in your own words what happened. The students seem to struggle with the typing out part. They can write out their ideas first and then type if that helps them.

2. Do a noun/adjective, verb, and adverb sort. Read a page of a chapter book and practice finding nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
