ELA: This is our fourth
week of suffixes. We are focusing on four lists of suffixes and their meanings.
They will be having a quiz on all four sets of suffixes Friday. They will be
separated and provided examples. They should be practicing their weeks 5-8 suffix
flashcards. They will also we reading and writing during this time. They are
focusing on reading for comprehension using the café model. The focus strategy
for this week is determining “character traits” using FAST acronym. Students should be reading an independent
reading book at least 15 minutes at home daily. They are asked to finish a RRJ
(Reading Response Journal entry) every FRIDAY on a separate piece of paper. The
requirements for the RRJ are posted on the salmon colored paper in their gold
folder. They are receiving written feedback on their RRJs from past weeks and
should be looking at those to help improve their writing. THEY MUST USE THE
UMBRELLA GRAPHIC ORGANIZER THIS WEEK!
Social Studies:
Students are completing their first unit in Social Studies: Geography.
They are working on taking notes in class and finding the important
information. TEST FRIDAY on Ch 1!!
Math: Students will
begin Chapter 2 this week, which covers division using whole numbers. This week
we are focusing on division using base-ten models. They should be completing
their homework on their own or with minimal support and they can refer to their
math notebook. I am finding the students are struggling with their math work due to
their struggle with multiplication facts. They should be practicing their multiplication facts at home daily. I
have been noticing that they really struggle as a whole with their facts.
