September 15-19th

This week in reading we are continuing our practice of making inferences but this week we are focusing on non-fiction texts. We are doing Sort 4 for spelling. It is a review of rules we have learned when adding -ing to words. Again, we are still doing the purple sheet activities. If your student has lost this, you can get another copy of it on my blog.

This week in writing we are starting our explanatory writing project. This will be a "How To" assignment where students will be explaining how to do something in their paper. We will be brainstorming things that we are "expert" at in class and picking something to write about this week.

This week in math we are finishing our unit on Factors and Multiples. We will be reviewing and taking our test on this unit on Friday.

This week in social studies we are learning about the different landforms in Utah, mainly mountains, rivers, lakes, and deserts. We will also begin our study of the counties of Utah. Before Christmas Break students will need to have each of the counties in Utah memorized.

Don't forget to help your student sign up for Road to Success and help them log their days! Days need to be logged by Sunday before we print tickets for the previous week. Also, please help your student raise money for our Cougar Crawl this week! Lastly, if you are interested and willing to come in to help in our class and you did not sign up at Back to School night, please let me know! I am getting things ready for our parent helpers to help us!
