Welcome to Week 28! Remember that Friday is a non-student work day for teachers. Also, Thursday is our 5th grade work day. See previous posts for a detailed schedule of the days activities.
Here is our week:
In reading this week we are going to continue our work with mysteries. We are going to continue to work with synthesis and author's purpose. To help students with their work in their reading comprehension packets, I have provided students with a written response rubric. Students are being asked to use this rubric to check their work when turning in any written response. When your student is filling out their reading comprehension packet, ask your student to refer to their written response rubric. If you are in need of a copy of the rubric, please email Mrs. Therriault and she can provide one. As students are turning in their reading comprehension packets, they are being corrected and handed back to be corrected. Packets will not be considered turned in until all mistakes have been corrected. This model follows what students have been doing in math all year long.
In social studies, students will be completing their studies of the middle colonies. There will be a quiz on Tuesday that students are being asked to study for. In addition to the quiz, we are going to compare the three regions more closely. With these comparisons, students are going to be asked to pick a region they would have wanted to live in and write about it. More information will be coming home with students at the end of this week or the beginning of next week.
In math we will be concluding our addition and subtraction chapter on fractions. Students will start this week working with subtracting mixed numbers. On Tuesday we will review each of the sections of this chapter and Thursday we will assess our students abilities.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
