What We Will Learn This Week

Math: We are beginning work on Chapter 7, which covers subtraction strategies.  Scholars should focus on using the strategies: using a number line to count back and relating addition and subtraction facts.

Word Study: This week we are continuing our work with synonyms and introducing antonyms.  We are also reviewing short vowels and introducing long vowels.

Literacy Block:  We are finishing our comprehension unit on schema (using what you know to connect with and relate to a text).  This week we are focusing on making text to world connections.

Writer’s Workshop:  Scholars are finishing the writing process with their newest small moment story.  They have planned their pieces, drafted them, and are now working on revising and editing them before publishing.  We will have an author’s party to celebrate and share our hard work.

Science: We will finish our introductory unit to the human body.

Our field trip to the Countyline Apple Orchard and Pumpkin Patch will be this Thursday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.  Scholars should wear their LEARN gym t-shirt with jeans.  Please dress warm!  Our school will be providing lunch.
