September 23-27

Reading: We are resuming a normal basal week with our story, At the Beach.  Students will have the regular spelling worksheet, comprehension page, and reading test this week. Students will participate in regular stations and book clubs this week. We will also work on visualizing, comparing and contrasting, and Greek and Latin derivatives.
Number the Stars recap: Miss Scott and Mrs. Pfahler were VERY PLEASED with the students during our first novel study, Number the Stars. The content in this book is very difficult, and the students worked hard to understand the text and the time period in which it took place. They demonstrated great maturity when learning about World War II.
Writing: Students will focus on adverbs and finding errors in sentences for the grammar section of our study this week. Students are working this week on nonfiction writing this week for a self-chosen topic.

Math: Students will complete unit 3 this week. We will have our test on Friday and will begin Unit 4 on Monday.

Physical Science: Students will be learning about Newton's Laws and reviewing for our science test over chemical changes, physical changes, and Newton's Laws.

Social Studies: Please contact your child's Social Studies teacher for an update on this subject.

Bully Lesson: Students will participate in a team building activity focusing again on cooperation and communication. They will be doing a trust activity that we are sure they will enjoy. They are really embraced these team building activities!

Special Events:
K Buddies: The class will be very excited to find out that we will be spending some time with our buddies on Friday!

Acuity: Students took the Math Acuity test on Monday and will take the Language Arts Acuity test next Monday.
