READING: Benchmarking This week, teachers are assessing students' current reading levels so that we can understand their needs and enable them to keep growing in their reading skills. WRITING: Personal Narrative Students will be writing a couple of personal narratives in their notebooks this week and will choose one to develop into a more developed story. As they work on this, they will be focusing on organizing their writing in chronological sequence and on considering the traits of good writing. SPELLING: List 4A - Long A (ai, ay) and Long E (ea, ee) List 4a mostly looks at words with the long a sound spelled ai or ay and at words with the long e sound spelled ea or ee. Please check the Vocabulary A-Z website for our current spelling list and corresponding activities. Our 4A spelling test will be on Thursday. SOCIAL STUDIES: Our Environment Chapter 1 asks the question, "How do we interact with our planet?" In this chapter, students get a basic overview of the geography of the United States; learn about how different environments affect people, plants, and animals; consider how people use natural resources; and ponder the importance of environmental conservation. SCIENCE: Types of Living Things In this chapter, the big idea is, "Cells are the building blocks of all the many types of living things." We will be looking at different types of living things, at parts of living things (like cells), and at how living things grow and change. Our chapter 1 science test is on Friday.
