Math - In math this week the students will continue to review their multiplication facts. I will be reviewing and testing their facts throughout the week. Our math test is on Tuesday over chapter 4. A preview of the test will go home for them to study. We will be going over a review sheet in class. This review should help them to know what to focus on as well.
English - Our English test will be on Tuesday, November 10th. Understanding the complete predicate and complete subject and the simple subject and simple predicate of a sentence is very difficult. Your child may need help in reviewing this skill. There is a great review at the end of chapter 1 in the text to help them review.
Reading - In reading this week the children will continue to work on understanding problems and solutions. They will be finding the problem and solutions in both fiction stories and non-fiction articles.
Social Studies - This week the students will identify events leading from colonization up to the founding of the United States. They will understand why immigrants came to the U.S. and when. They will also learn about a few immigrants who have contributed much to our nation. A test is planned for Friday, November 20th over chapter 5.
Science- The "Big Idea" in this new chapter is that living things inherit traits, grow, and develop according to life cycles. This week the students will learn about heredity. How do parents pass on traits to their offspring? What is the difference between inherited and learned traits?
