Class activities for Monday, January 10
Spelling: We reviewed the common spelling patterns for the /ou/ sound: ow and ou. This will be skill tested on this week’s spelling test.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences of seven or more words each are due on Fridays.
Reading: Three groups performed their Literature Circles plays today.
Writing: We talked about writing dialogue so that it is not just small talk or chit chat. Good dialogue helps the reader to understand the action of the story and what the characters are like.
Our next piece of writing, a fiction piece, will be due Friday, January 21. Students should be drafting at this time.
Math: We reviewed division facts today and learned a method for calculating mental math division facts. Homework is to finish Journal pp. 103-105.
Science: We reviewed the analysis questions from the activity about testing medicines.
Social Studies: We worked on some notes about Roanoke and started to learn about Jamestown. Homework is to finish Notebook p. 33.
