Happy Monday Parents! We are super excited to start the month of October and everything that it is bringing to Mazie Gable. Please take a minute to read what your child will be learning and any upcoming dates.
Math: We will continue to work through Unit 2 in math. The students will be working with multiplicative and geometric concepts in the upcoming weeks. Their next unit math test will be on October 20th. Please have your child continue to complete their homework and practice their fact fluency at home.
Science: This week we will be finishing up on the Science unit on the Earth, Sun, and Moon. On Thursday, students will complete a study guide that will be sent home with them to study. Please take the time to encourage your student to study before their test on Friday.
Reading: The students will be learning how to have debates on certain topics in fictions books. They will choose a position and then use evidence from the text to support that position.
Be sure to have your child read 15 minutes each night and fill out the reading log!
Writing: We are editing and publishing our stories this week! When your child is writing at home please encourage them to use proper conventions, such as capitalizing appropriately, using correct verb tenses, punctuating, and using spelling strategies.
Word Work: Tic Tac Toe homework is due Tuesday, Oct. 4th! We have many students who are not completing this homework each week. They are given an entire week to complete the 3 activities from the sheet using their word sorts. Thanks for your support on this.
Social Studies: We are learning about map features to help us read a map. First we studied the 7 continents and then we will move on to latitude and longitude, as well as map keys, and a compass rose. Here's a cool website the students can have fun with while they are learning geography: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/World_Continents.htm
