Class activities for Tuesday, September 21
Spelling: We finished reviewing common rules for adding suffixes to words:
- Change the y to i before adding a suffix (except ing);
- Double the last letter for one-syllable words that end in a vowel and consonant;
- Add es to words that end with ch, x, z, s and sh.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences of seven or more words each are due on Fridays.
Reading: We reviewed the final two common responses for Literature Circles notes: visualizing with illustrations and selecting passages. Students also completed a STAR reading test today. Below is a chart of our results continuing from last year and our new reading goal:
Congratulations to the class, who continued to grow their reading level over the summer!
See our other goals at our Class Data Center.
Writing: None on Tuesdays due to technology.
A personal narrative is due Friday, September 24. Students should be revising at this time. Please note that a personal narrative is a story that includes your student. Narratives have characters, plot and settings.
Math: We continued to review square numbers today.
Science: We continued to review electricity topics learned in fourth grade.
Social Studies: We learned that American Indians migrated to desert, mountain, ice field, and grassland environments and had to adapt to the natural resources available.
