Topic 4: Solving Equations and Topic 5: Number and Fraction Concepts. This
month he will focus on Topic 6: Decimals, Fractions, and Mixed Numbers, Topic
7:Adding and Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers, and Topic 8: Multiplying
Fractions and Mixed Numbers.
Spelling/Vocabulary: Spelling and vocabulary
lists will be given for each FULL week this month. Spelling Tests will usually
be every Friday. We will correct ALL spelling work in class on Thursday, so
students need to be prepared with the assignment done! I will make an
adjustment for Thanksgiving Break. Students have access to their spelling lists
located in the SCHOOL TO HOME section on their Wonders Web site (connect ed)!
They need to be STUDYING THE WORDS BEFORE FRIDAY TESTS!
Reading:
We will be
reading the basal and working on fluency, comprehension, and text analysis. Remember
that each Wednesday is BASAL HOMEWORK NIGHT! Students need to bring their basal/Chrome
Book home to reread the story and write a summary on their planner sheet. Make sure your student is doing 20 min of
reading Sun-Thurs with a parent signature on their planner sheet.
*Each
week, students who complete their reading with 5 parent signatures, turned in
ON TIME, will receive 1 Read to Ride ticket for the end of the year bike
drawing.
Writing: We will practice the
writing process, the six +1 traits of writing, and language arts will be
integrated into this subject. We will also continue to practice the Four Square
Method of organizing writing. We are writing expository essays in class.
