We have a busy week coming up...
Literacy: Students will finish their guided reading book and choose a literature circle book for the final part of our Character Study Unit. They will also take the final Character Study Unit assessment. During writing, students will practice finding text evidence, and they will give a book talk to the class on Thursday.
Math: On Monday, students will complete a Math Box Assignment covering 4.1 - 4.4. Throughout the week, I will instruct lessons 4.7-4.10. You can expect the corresponding Home Links. Students will practice using multi-digit multiplication strategies to solve word problems.
Science: On Friday, we began studying forces of nature that change the Earth. Students were assigned a differentiated National Geographic theme set text, which they will use to learn about different forces of nature including wind, water, ice, earthquakes and volcanoes Students will work with me to review and practice finding the main idea and details of a non-fiction text.
We have a field trip to the Chicago History Museum on Wednesday, 1/24. Trip slips were sent home last Thursday - please return on Monday. Students will need a brown bag lunch, as we will eat at the museum. I will email details to parent chaperones on Monday afternoon. Two chaperone spots are still open!
40 Book Challenge Notebooks are due on Thursday, 1/25 - I will extend the due date to Friday, 1/26 if extra time is needed. Students will give a 1-minute book talk in class on Thursday. Book talks should be memorized and no longer than one-minute. Additionally, students are required to complete a book talk planning sheet that should be taped into the back of their 40 BC notebook. This sheet is meant to help students plan out what they will say during their talk in class.
Science Night will take place on January 31st - quarter projects will be on display from 3:30-4:30pm. We hope you are able to make it!
Students have been working hard and will perform at the Winter Music Assembly on Friday, 1/26, at 9am and 2pm. We hope you are able to make one of those performances, as well!
