Homeroom Happenings
Spelling - The children will take a spelling pretest on Monday. If they miss 2 or less, they will become a challenge speller. They will choose challenge spelling words. Please check your child's spelling pocket for their list. If your child misses 3 or more, they will be working on the regular weekly spelling list. Again this week, both challenge and regular spellers will choose 3 activities, from a list of over 20 activities, to complete using their spelling words. These 3 activities should be done in your child's spelling spiral and are due Friday. Please have your child use both front and back of pages in their spelling spiral. On Friday, challenge spellers will have the choice of keeping their pretest score or retaking the weekly spelling test for a higher grade.
English - We will continue working on our noun unit. This week we will cover the following lessons: More plural nouns, Singular possessive nouns, and Plural possessive nouns. All enrichment work will be done at school. Our Noun test will be sometime during the week of September 17.
Reading - The children will continue reading Escaping the Giant Wave. We are reviewing all our reading strategies while we are reading this novel. The children will be finishing the book this week. A test on the novel is planned for Monday, September 17. Students will be allowed to use their books and packets during the test.
Science - This week we will begin our study of the Scientific Method. The children will make a flap book to help them study the step required in the Scientific Method. We will also begin a lab this week using the Scientific Method.
Social Studies - We will continue our unit on Government. The children will continue to review vocabulary throughout the week. They should bring home their Social Studies spiral which will have the words and their definitions. The children will also fill out a "Patriotic Quest" in class using information from our text.
