This week in ELA we are diving deeper into
parts of language such as: verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, conjunctions,
interjections, and prepositions. They
are working on increasing their comprehension with fiction texts in our NYS
Test Prep time and reading groups. They
have a weekly reading response journal due every week on Friday.
In morning math work we are starting Chapter 11: Geometry and Volume. We will cover: polygons, triangles, quadrilaterals, problem solving, and three-dimensional figures. On the back of this paper you will find a detailed explanation of the chapter and a few reteach sheets for you to practice at home with your child.
In afternoon math we are in the middle of Chapter 6: Add and Subtract Fractions with Unlike Denominators. We will cover: adding and subtracting mixed numbers, subtraction with renaming, patterns with fractions, practice addition and subtraction, and use properties of addition. On the back of this paper you will find a few reteach sheets for you to practice at home with your child. There will be a Chapter Test NEXT Tuesday 3/11/14.
We are working their fourth list of Words Their Way spelling list for the third quarter. Monday through Wednesday they are to work on their three choices of spelling homework.
