Some homework folders are a bit worse for the wear and I've noticed that quite a few families had replaced the folder with a binder. What a fabulous idea!
Here's what coming next week:
- We are starting our Information Text Writing unit. In this unit, students will write as experts on a Social Studies topic of their choosing. The topic can be anything studied in second, third and fourth grade. This unit will require students to write about a topic they know a lot about. Research will help add facts to the students knowledge. It is important that your child reads many nonfiction texts on the same topic. Texts can be magazine articles, internet articles, books and even documentaries. Students have begun the research work in Reading Workshop. The writing work will center on organizing facts into cohesive paragraphs/ chapters and writing with elaboration.
- We are going to the Armory on Tuesday.
- Please check out the Multiplication Game link to help practice those multiplication facts.
- Finally the answer to the poll question, If given 8, 5, 8 and 1, write a number sentence that would equal to 24, the number sentence would be (8-5) * (8*1)! Nine out of ten voters were correct! Check out our new poll question.
Have a great weekend!
