Math- This week in math the students will use models and place value to help them multiply by a one and two digit number. The students will be tested on their facts through 12 on Wednesday. They should continue to practice their facts throughout the week. If they know their facts it will be so much easier for them to learn the other concepts that build off of the facts.
Wednesday, Nov. 20 - Early Dismissal 11:00
Spelling - In spelling this week the students will work with words that are r controlled. They will be responsible for completing pages 152-154 in their workbooks. There will be a test on Friday.
Reading - The students will have a test over the comprehension and vocabulary from Because of Winn Dixie on Friday. We will have a party on Friday, which will be just like the party Opal had in the story. We will have the same menu as they had in the story, and some students offered to send in things for our party. Just let me know if your child offered and you can not do it. They have a slip in their binder if they offered. A permission slip also went home so we can show the movie in class on Friday. All things should be turned in on Thursday.
English - We will begin descriptive writing this week. The students will learn the different forms of figurative language, similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia, personification, and hyperboles, as they write leads to their story.
Science- The students will describe the life cycle of flowering plants and how plants reproduce using only spores.
Social Studies - You may want to review with your child: Where did the Narragansett live?
