September 8-12th


This week in reading we are talking about inferences. We make inferences when we put what we already know about something together with text clues, or what the book tells us, and we try and figure out what it means. We are doing Sort 3 which is another 2 groups of words adding -ing at the end. Again, students need to do 20 points worth of activities from the purple sheet this week for homework.

This week in writing we are finishing our Personal Narratives. They are due on Friday. Students are revising and editing their draft in class, then writing a final draft to be graded. If this is not completed by Thursday in class, they need to take it home and finish it for homework.

This week in math we are learning about factors and multiples. A factor is one of the numbers you multiply together in a multiplication problem. A multiple is multiple groups of a number. We will be finding factors of different numbers, learning divisibility rules, and finding multiples.

This week we will start talking about different landforms. We will talk more about maps as well as the different landforms that are here in Utah.

If you would like to order books through Scholastic Book Orders, the form either needs to be brought into class with the money by Friday, or books need to be ordered online with the code DH29Z by then as well. Also, our Road to Success reading program has now started. Tomorrow I will be sending home with the weekly envelopes instructions on how to sign up your student. If you do not have a computer at home, we can get this taken care of at school, but please allow your student if possible to do this at home so as not to take away from class time. Lastly, our Cougar Crawl is coming up. You will be receiving more information on this as well in the weekly envelope. Please help us raise money for some wonderful things for our school!
