February 23-27th

This week in reading we will be finishing learning about text structures. We will talk about descriptions, problem/solution, and sequence text structures. We will be looking at passages and identifying what text structure the passage is. Our spelling is Sort 45 with ph- and gh- words. Some of these words are a little tricky so please make sure that your student does their homework and studies their words plenty!

This week in writing we are starting our Author Report. Tonight, students need to pick their author. They should pick 2-3 authors they could do their report on, because tomorrow I will let students pick and they will be first come first serve. Students CAN NOT do the same author as someone else in the class. So if their fist pick is already gone, they will have to pick someone else. So please, help your student come up with some possibilities. We will begin our research on our author tomorrow, therefore, they need their author picked so they can get right to work.

This week in math we are studying shapes. We are talking about the different types of quadrilaterals there are and then we will talk about lines of symmetry. We will also be practicing shape patterns, making and solving them. In target time we will be talking about multi-step word problems and practicing drawing pictures and writing equations for them.

This week in social studies we will continue to talk about the Mormon Pioneers. We will talk about what they did when they got to Utah and how they settled and colonized the state. We will also talk about how our lives are different from their lives back then.
