This blog will not be a detailed day to day plan because we will be working on activities in class that will not go home as homework.
Things you should know
- Friday is a 12:30 dismissal
- my students are in great need of practice with their multiplication facts---Wow we need work on this . It would be great to drill them at home, in the car, at the dinner table....anywhere you can catch them. Haha. Yes I know that on regular nights( not during testing) there is homework, but some nights there isn't math......... There should be. This is where that drilling comes in. To help your child, this is to be done regularly at home. Thank you for helping your child!!!!
Here is what we will be working on this week in class:
Science- lab activities, and lesson 3 notes
SS- I will begin teaching outlining using the next chapter in social studies. I have a fill in outline to start with so they can see what it should look like. We will read, discuss the main points, then add them to our outlines. Again this will be done in school this week.
Writing- we will learning how to write a 3 paragraph essay. It will be about an event they have experienced. In order to teach them this narrative essay I will give them a easy topic that we can group write a sample in class, then I will guide them in other steps in the writing process. By the end of the week they will bring home the rough draft for you to read.......and help them improve their technique.
Thank you in advance for this reinforcement at home!
Handwriting- we will continue to practice our cursive in class. Starting 2nd quarter, all work will be in cursive.
PLEASE REMIND YOUR CHILD ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD SLEEP AND EATING A GOOD BREAKFAST EACH MORNING!!!!
A SHOUT OUT AND THANK YOU TO THE PARENTS WHO BRING IN SNACKS THIS WEEK!!!!
