Here's what to expect for next week:
- We are starting our second essay in our writing unit. This essay will be based on a topic we are learning in school. Students will form a thesis (opinion/ idea) about something we have studied in a content area and write an essay using facts from documents or books. This will tie our writing work with our reading work as this will involve reading for facts. The essay format will remain the same but our students will have the added advantage of drawing information from other texts.
- We will meet our buddies this week! We are paired with K-210, Ms. Witkowski and Mrs Sheehan's class. Our fourth graders have always gone the extra mile to be excellent role models for the younger children!
- Please check out the IXL Math Games link. Games A.1 and A.2 can supplement our work on place values and will provide additional practice for your child. The Unit two exam will take place the week of October 29.
- There has been a noticeable improvement in the weekly Reading Response entries. Students have been much more diligent about following the directions and answering the questions in the prompt. The next reading log will have a different third question. Please watch out for that. In class, we have discussed how supporting characters are often different than the main character so that the supporting character can help the main character grow. This new question asks your child to keep that in mind as he/she interpret while reading.
