Creature Feature:
I would like to thank everyone for your support with this creative project. The children really enjoyed making, writing about, and sharing their creatures. It was so wonderful to see so many of you here supporting your children during our "Creature Feature."
Homeroom Happenings:
Science - We will begin our study of the Human Body. Our unit will begin with the children finding the answers to this question: How does your body get oxygen and nutrients? We will be exploring the digestive system, the respiratory system, and the circulatory system.
Social Studies - The children will finish their Southeast Farmer project this week. They will be writing a story from the perspective of a cotton, peach, peanut, or orange farmer. After this project, we will be moving into the Midwest Region.
English - We will take our next pretest this week on Wednesday. The children will receive their contracts on Thursday. At that time, they will choose their enrichment projects. We will not begin this new unit until the week of Jan. 14.
Spelling - We will continue to follow our Second Quarter procedure this week and next week. Starting the week of January 21, we will begin our 3rd Quarter procedure. More information will be coming soon regarding this new procedure.
Reading - The children will finish a group extended response on "The Raven and the Star Fruit". Each evening, the children will have an assignment in our COACH book. This book will help expose children to questions that are similar to those on the ISAT test. We will review the pages in school the following day.
We will begin a novel called Matilda this week. Post comments, questions, and new vocabulary on Wall Wisher: http://wallwisher.com/wall/MatildaUnit
