It is hard to believe that October is just days away and there are only two weeks left in this nine weeks. Where has the time gone?
Reading: We will be practicing how to have academic discussions about texts with other students. We will also be working on annotating texts as we investigate short passages and articles. Students will be learning about the 5th signpost this week: Memory Moment. Students have one posting on Schoology that is due each Monday morning to show their thinking about signposts that they find in their reading.
Language: We are finishing up nouns this week as we discuss possessive pronouns. Students will also be showing their understanding of its vs it's and there vs they're vs their. Later in the week, students will be working on complete sentences, making sure that sentences that we're writing are not fragments or run-ons. Beginning Thursday, October 1st, all work must be done in cursive.
Math: At different points in the week, when students are showing understanding of the standard algorithm for subtraction, they will be proving their mastery to me with a subtraction quiz. When students have shown mastery, they will be working on other menu tasks that take into consideration the skills they have mastered while preparing them for more that we will be working on soon. All students are working on menu tasks that challenge their understanding of addition and subtraction as well as solving multi-step problems. Students should also be practicing their multiplication facts at home. On Friday, they will be given a quiz to show how fluently they know their facts.
Alabama History: This week, we will be discussing the very first Alabamians and what their life was like.
Science: Students will be investigating the relationship between length, size and tension with pitch. We will also be going on our field trip to the ENT on Wednesday!
