Hello parents and guardians! We are looking forward to another awesome week of school! During this week the following will be happening in each of their classes.
Math - Students will be taking their fact fluency baseline testing. This will help us determine whether their fact fluency has improved by the end of their fourth grade year. Also, we will be working through lessons 1.8-1.11. Please look out for any homework that may be sent home!
Science - We are continuing to discuss Matter and its different properties. Students will be taking a quiz at some point in the next two weeks, to assess their knowledge on this subject. Look out for this notification and make sure they are studying for their assessments.
Reading - This week we will be questioning, summarizing, predicting, and inferring. The students have added several Good Fit books to their book bin so they will continue to build stamina during Read to Self and Read to Someone. We will launch the Word Work Daily 5 station this week.
Writing- Now that the students have developed their characters' traits, motivations, and struggles; they will begin to plot their stories using a story arc. They are learning that problems keep the story interesting and sometimes need to get worse before they get better or the characters are able to solve them. We will begin drafting our realistic fiction stories this week!
Word Work- Every Day 2 the students will get their individualized word sorts. They will be cutting them up and sorting them into specific word pattern categories. These words sorts must be kept in an envelope which will be located in their binders. It is important that the students bring these to schoole EVERYDAY. Also, TIC TAC TOE Spelling homework starts this week! The students were given a sheet last week and the choice activities have been explained thoroughly. Their 3 activities must be completed and handed in every Day 6. This week their homework will be due on Friday, Sept. 18th. Please encourage your child to have this work done every cycle week.
Vocabulary- We have been collecting interesting words since the beginning of the school year. The students will see some of these words again during Word of the Day. You may have noticed this sheet in their binders. After we reach 10 words the students will be given a quiz on them. Please be sure that they keep their word of the day sheets in their binders and encourage them to use these words in sentences at home.
