Reading: Our weekly reading story
this week is The Stormi Giovanni Club. Students will work on making
generalizations as we read this text. This week we will also focus on analyzing
poetry. We will practice finding the theme and meaning of words or phrases in
various poems.
Math: This week in math we will be finish
Unit 9. The Unit 9 test will be on Friday. Students received their study guides
today and are expected to have them completed by class on Thursday. This will
make it possible for us to go over the study guide Thursday in class. In class
today we reviewed finding the base and height of triangles and plugging these
in to the area formula. This is a concept students need some extra practice in.
Writing: This week in writing students
are working on developing a strong beginning. Students shared some of their
writing in class today and I was very impressed! This week we will work on
connecting these STRONG beginnings to an strong ending. Students will also work
on adding details, details, and more details to their writing! We worked on
using vivid word choice today and this is something I am encouraging all
students to think about and implement as they write.
Spelling: Students will have a
spelling test on Thursday over the words for The Stormi Giovanni Club.
Social Studies: Students will be
taking Social Studies acuity this Thursday at 1:20pm.
Science: Please contact Mrs. Smith for an update in this subject!
Other Notes:
We will have our Valentine’s
Day Party this Friday at the end of the day. I have encouraged students to
bring Valentine’s to hand out to their classmates if they would like. I will have
bags for students to put the Valentines in. If students would like to decorate
their own and bring them in they are welcome to do that J
This week all classes are participating in “Reuse-A-Shoe. Students
will have until Friday to bring in old shoes. These shoes will be shipped to
Third World Countries where they will be reused by men, women, and children to
work and play in. Students should have received a pink slip with this
information.
As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns.
Miss Hetzner
