Homeroom Happenings:
Science - We have now completed chapter 4, lesson 2. The children will take an open notes/book quiz on Tuesday. We will not have a test on this chapter. During the week of January 24, we will begin our study of physical science.
Social Studies - The children have chosen an important person from Black History. They will be researching this person this week. Their research will then be organized into paragraphs. They will be word processing these paragraphs to put into a book called "Just Look".
English - The Unit 1 test on Sentences will be on Thursday, January 20. The test will cover: sentence vs. fragment, statements, questions, commands, and exclamations, subject & predicate, simple subjects, simple predicates, and correcting run-on sentences. Enrichment projects will also be due on the day of the test.
Reading - The comprehension skill that we will be focusing on this week is drawing conclusions. Good readers use details in a story to draw conclusions about characters and events. Students may use graphic organizers to gather details from a story to draw conclusions. They will learn that it is possible to draw more than one conclusion from the same details.
