November 3-7th

This week in reading we are going to be talking about prose, poetry, and drama. We will be discussing characteristics of each of them and discussing similarities and differences between them. Our spelling will be Sort 20. Just like the past 2 lists, these words have a long  u in the first or second syllables. Don't forget to read, fill out a reading log, and track your student's days on Road to Success.

This week in writing we are finishing our poetry unit. We will finish learning the last of our types of poems. We will revise, edit, and publish 6 of our best poems. On Friday, we will share a few of our favorite poems that we wrote. We will also be talking about common adages, idioms, and proverbs, and discussing what they mean. 

This week in math we are finishing our word problems unit. We are focusing on how to do multistep problems with equations. We will be doing multiplication and division problems mainly. We will also be reviewing long division in Target Time this week.

This week in social studies we are talking about how the geography of Utah affects our health and safety. We will also talk about how humans have changed the physical environment/geography of Utah. Also, students will be making and bringing home study guides to help them study for their counties test. This test will not be until the last week of school in December, but it is best to start studying now. Their study guide is an EXACT copy of the test, and is exactly what they will be expected to know. They need to match the county seat to the correct county, and label on a map where each county is. 

Again, ALL missing assignments are due this Friday, November 7th. Please make sure your student has everything turned in before then!
