Homeroom Happenings:
Spelling - This unit will be counted on 3rd trimester. During 3rd trimester, students will need to get a perfect score on the pretest to become a challenge speller. A new list of activities will be placed in your child's binder.
English - We will be starting a new unit this week. The children will be taking a pretest, and will be doing enrichment work during any lesson that they pass out of. Their contract will be in their binder sometime later in the week.
Reading - We will be reading a book called And Then What Happened, Paul Revere? Your child will be doing activities with the following vocabulary words: cargo, colonies, express, liberty, oppose, Patriot, revolutionary, sentries, and taxes. We will also be discussing author's viewpoint and Fact & Opinion this week.
Third Trimester Reading Project - This week, I will introduce the "Fantasy Photo Story" project to the class. On Thursday, the children will have an opportunity to choose a fantasy/science fiction book to read for this project. Please watch your child's binder for information regarding this project.
Science - On Monday, we will review chapter 15, lesson 3. The children will take a quiz on lesson 3 on Tuesday. Please have them review their notes and the other vocabulary in this lesson.
