Homeroom Happenings:
Science - We will learn about the following concepts: instinct, hibernation, migration, and learned behavior. The children will choose an animal to draw as an example of each concept.
Social Studies - Our Southeast test is on Tuesday. The children need t know the correct spelling and location of all 12 states in the Southeast. They should also correctly identify the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Mississippi River. The children can ear bonus points for identifying the capitals of each state in the Southeast. We will also continue our Southeast Farmer project this week. The test on the Southeast land and resources will be after Thanksgiving break.
Spelling - Our pretest will be on Monday. The final test will be on Friday. We will not have a spelling unit during the week of Nov. 21.
English - We have learned about Imagery, Alliterations, and Onomatopoeia. The children will use these concepts to write a Fall poem. These will be due by Friday. Work on this poem should be done at school. If your child does not finish, they will need to bring it home Thursday night to finish for Friday.
Reading - This week, we will once again focus on the reading strategy of making inferences. Authors do not always tell the reader everything. They may give clues instead. The reader must use the clues and their own knowledge to make inferences about people and events.
