This week, there is no school on Friday, September 30th.
Due to our short week, there will be no spelling.
We will only have homework on Wednesday this week, not on Tuesday and Thursday as usual.
Scholastic Books were ordered today!
In Social Studies, we will begin out unit on the seven continents. We will learn about what the seven continents are, and where they are located on the map. The students will create their own book called "The Seven Continents." They will cut out and label each continent and then color them to help learn what each continent looks like! These books and a map of the continents will stay in their Social Studies folder. Later, their test will be to identify each of the seven continents. Their book will help them study for this. I will let you know about the test a week in advance.
In Reading, we will be using what we learned about punctuation marks to talk about the different types of sentences. We will begin by looking at statements. We will talk about when and why we use statements and how they are said. We will practice identifying and writing our own statements. As a class, we will continue to review what all sentences must have. Sentences must 1) start with a capital letter, 2) end with punctuation, and 3) make sense/be a complete thought.
In Writing, students will be able to use the list of ideas they created last week in Writer's Workshop to begin thinking of their first story. We will be practicing how we write in our journals this week. We will also be practicing sharing our writing.
It will be a wonderful, fun-filled week :)
