Homeroom Happenings:
Science - We will learn about the scientific method. These are the steps we will follow as scientists.
Social Studies - This week, we will finish our governmental study. On Thursday, the children will fill out a "how to study" sheet for the test which will be on Tuesday, September 21.
Spelling - Our spelling list will practice words with short and long a and e words. If your child misses 2 or less, they will be a "challenge speller". They will choose words from a pre-made list and will complete 3 challenge activities in their spelling spiral. If they miss 3 or more, they will study the regular spelling list and complete 3 pages from the reading/spelling workbook.
English - We will finish our noun unit this week. The children will fill out a "how to study" sheet on Wednesday. The test will be on Friday.
Reading - This week, our focus will be on story structure. We will use a story map to look at how a problem and its solution affect the story’s plot and characters. When your child is reading at home, you can practice and review story structure by asking them to identify characters, setting, and plot (which includes the problem, sequenced events, and the solution).
