Hope the kids are enjoying their 3 day weekend! :) Here is what's ahead:
Reading - We will continue our "mystery" month. All the assignments for their first mystery are due this week by Friday. Next, they are to choose a 2nd mystery on their reading level to have read by the end of the month. The only grades for the 2nd mystery are their AR test result and a quick fluency check by me.
Spelling - List 12 on spellingcity.com I will let the children know the enriched list tomorrow.
English - Daily English Review (I don't always list this, but we do this every week.) Skill focus: Contractions and Pen Pal Letters
Science - Planets If you have not sent in your $2, please do so by Tuesday.
Social Studies - SE Region of the USA We will be looking at the landforms, resources, and location of the SE states on Tuesday and then dive right into the wonderful, rich history of the SE on Wednesday! This is a fascinating unit, the children always enjoy. I make a lot of the learning student-led with this unit. I assign the kids each a partner to become experts on an important person, event, or place of the SE. They will do 2 inclass projects on their topic and then teach the rest of the children about what they learned. We then put all the events and people into a timeline, so that the children will understand the order of happenings...such as Pocahontas and Harriet Tubman living in different centuries!
Math - Double Digit Multiplication We will be practicing for mastery of this important skill all week. I taught the children 2 ways to get to the right answer. I will let them now choose what way best fits them.
