Happy Monday! This week in math, we're continuing to work with different strategies for division. Tonight's homework is page 245. If you need help, please watch the lesson video on the Think Central website. We are wrapping up Chapter 4 and will have a review on Wednesday, and then a test on Thursday. If your child is struggling, please continue to help him/her work toward mastering the basic math/division facts. This will be important all year!
In Reading, we are continuing to work with the story Antarctic Journal. We've been discussing the structure of this non-fiction text and how to use text features to aid in comprehension. In Writing, students are working on writing a persuasive letter. We are in the planning stage of the writing process right now, but hope to publish our work before Christmas break.
In grammar, students are finishing up a study of adjectives, and students received new vocabulary words for the month of November. These are: beautiful, community, communities, classify, electricity, happiness, and prettier. Students will be responsible for know the meanings, spellings, and word parts (prefixes, root words, and suffixes) of these words.
Finally, in Social Studies, students are currently researching Native American tribes from each of the 5 regions of the United States. This project should be wrapping up this Thursday, and we will switch to Science after the Veteran's Day holiday.
In other announcements...
- HES will host a family Thanksgiving Dinner on November 17. Further information will be coming out shortly, but please save the date.
- Picture retakes are on November 15. If your child needs a retake, please let his/her teacher know ASAP.
Thanks so much for your support. Have a great evening!
