ELA:  We are focusing on specific spelling concepts. There are five groups all focusing on spelling lists/concepts that are unique to the child. They are asked to complete a packet of activities and return them on Thursday. They are focusing on writing summaries currently in their reading groups. They are also learning about the three tenses of verbs. 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.

Social Studies:  Students are being introduced to the Early Explorers Unit. They will be collaboratively learning in groups and sharing their findings with the class.  Students will be using this information to complete a project at the end of the month.

Math:  Students are completing Chapter 3 with a mini test on Tuesday on 3.10 & 3.11. They will be introduced to Chapter 4 this week, which covers Multiplying Decimals. This week we are focusing on multiplication patterns with decimals, and multiplication with decimals and whole numbers. They should be practicing their multiplication facts at home daily as they have division and multiplication checkups on Friday.
