Homeroom Happenings:
Science - We will fill out our "how to study" sheet on Monday. Our Simple Machines test will be on Thursday. Next week, we will begin our study of Rocks and Minerals.
Social Studies - Our visit to the Southwest will continue. We will continue to practice the skill of taking outline notes. Lesson 2 will focus on the climate of the Southwest.
English - We will finish our Hero Expository Essays this week. The children will also begin our study of adverbs and prepositions. They took a pretest on this unit on Wednesday last week.
Spelling - Our spelling words this week will work with words with silent letters. The test on Friday will need to be done in cursive. Your child should not only practice how to spell the words but also how to write them, with correct letter formation, in cursive.
Reading - Our reading strategy for next week is making inferences. Readers must make inferences, or "read between the lines," when an author doesn't tell the reader everything. Readers can do this by applying what they already know to story clues given by the author.
