Hi Families!! Are you looking forward to Fall Break? A 4 day weekend sounds great to me!! Here is the agenda for the short week ahead:
Reading - BFG class novel......we will continue to work on comprehension, predicting, and visualizing. The skill focus for the week is: Context Clues. We will also work on dictionary skills.
English - Adjectives and Adverbs, We will also work on creative writing skills. We will work on brainstorming plot, setting, and characters and develop our ideas into a short story.
No Spelling/Quote this week.
Science - We will tie up our geology unit with learning about earthquakes and volcanoes this week.
Social Studies - We will take a quiz using our Oklahoma Symbols book.
Math - Addition Properties and Word Problems; PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE continue to work on multiplication facts with your child. We have had zero time to take speed tests these past 2 weeks, however, your child should still be practicing facts every day. We will be hitting multiplication hard after Fall Break and then moving quickly into large number multiplication. If your child does not know his/her facts, it will be very hard. Good luck and make it fun! :) Offer incentives! Believe me.....I know how hard it is. I remember my mom and I practicing over and over. She, nor I ever thought I would get them stuck in my head, but eventually I did! I went through the same thing with my daughter. We played game after game until she finally mastered them. Parents, your role is crucial in this. No matter how busy life is, please take time to help your children with this. They need you.
That's it for this week! Enjoy your Fall Break!
