Happy Monday!
I can't believe how long it's been since I've updated this blog! Hopefully, this will be a 5-day week! I know the kids and I really need it! (Of course I probably won't be saying this on Friday afternoon!)
Just a quick update for this week:
Language Arts: We're reading biographies and writing summaries about the person we've read about. Most of the books are about people the students have never heard of, so it's fun to see them learn about someone new.
Math: Hopefully you received the parent letters explaining what's going on in math. We've started a Geometry unit and have been identifying shapes. This week we'll be working on perimeter and area.
Social Studies: We're ending our unit on Peoples of the Nation and World and will be beginning a Science Unit called "Rocks, Soil, and Fossils". Don't be surprised if homework one night is to bring in scraps of food for our compost with worms!
Writing: We're finishing up a descriptive paragraph on favorite holidays or food and a personal narrative on what was done over the holiday break. I'm hoping to get both finished and to final copy this week. I'm really stressing the Conventions writing trait - grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.
Have a great week!
Thanks for everything you do to make my life easier!
