Welcome to Week 15!
In math this week we will be completing our Chapter 5 assessment. Students will be doing some peer instruction and practice work to prepare for our test on Wednesday. Late in the week we will start our last section of math before Winter Break which is a quick section on shapes. It should be a fun way to end a very full first trimester of math.
In reading students will be starting our second genre study with a look at Historical Fiction. Once again, students will be setup in reading ability groups surrounding a historical fiction text on World War 2. Prior to receiving their books, students will be given some insights into the second world war and the people that were involved. In addition, the class will be studying the important comprehension strategy of inferring.
In writing students will continue to work on personal narratives. Now that our students have received ample time to play with a few different ideas for their narratives, they will be asked to choose one idea to write their narrative with. This week and next students will work through the writing process from brainstorming to writing a final draft.
Just a FYI....Ms. Therriault will be out this week. We miss her, but the classroom has continued to run smoothly thanks to our fabulous students and great guest teacher (Mr. K).
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
