What We Are Learning

Reading: This week students will work on identifying key information in a test and will work together in groups on a project.

 

Phonics: The students will review phonogram cards and identify them in our spelling 
words.  Five words will be introduced each day. Please study every night. They will
be tested on these words on Friday. A new spelling test format is coming next week. 

Writing/Grammar: Students will be guided through the writing process when given a prompt.  We will also review several standards having to do with nouns.

Math: This week we will begin our geometry unit with polygons, 3D shapes, and partitioning shapes.  There will be a study guide provided for the test on Wednesday as these shape names will need to be learned and remembered.

   

Science: This week we will complete an engineering activity to further understand the forces of push and pull as well as how friction affects movement of objects.

Homework

Spelling

Spelling this week will focus on the phonemes ee, ow, ey, ea, or, ch, ou and oi. Students will be taking their spelling test using the new format this week. For this new test format students will have to edit sentences with incorrect grammar and spelling. They will also have to write sentences using their spelling words and copy dictation sentences.

Have a wonderful week!
