Math - In math this week we will work on multiple step story problems. The students will represent a multi-step word problem by writing an equation. They will also use a variable to represent the unknown quantity in an equation. We will review the lessons from the chapter and our test will be on Friday of this week. The students should use all the papers in their folder as a guide and they can bring their books home as well.
Spelling- No spelling this week.
Reading - The students will be assessed on the skills we have covered so far: text organization, story structure, and author's point of view. We will review syllabication rules, and at the end of the week we will begin reading the book, Because of Winn Dixie. They will be bringing these books home in the evening to read, and it will be very important for the students to bring their books back to school each day.
English - In English this week, the students will capitalize and punctuate abbreviation for titles, addresses, months, and days. There will be a quiz on abbreviations of months and days of the week on Tuesday, October 22.
Social Studies - The students will create a mind map which will help them understand how Niagara Falls was formed. They will learn about the Appalachian Mountain Range and the mountains that make it up. They will study a map's features and then make a map of the northeast, with these physical features on the map.
Science - We will begin a unit on classifying animals. The students will understand that scientists classify animals into two groups: vertebrates and invertebrates. They will identify traits of the five animal classes of vertebrates: fish, mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles.
