Spelling Lists #21
Here are the links to this week's spelling words. There are 3 different lists for students, according to their needs. The list your child brings home each week should say at the bottom the name of the list. You can also access the words on these links as well as games for students to study with.
February 28-March 3rd
Dear Parents,
We got to watch the School Spelling Bee on Friday and it was
so fun to watch our friends do so well. We were so impressed with the words
everyone could spell and how hard they must have studied! It makes us want to
do better at spelling! I hope everyone had fun at Classic Skating last week!
Just so you know, I will be gone Monday through Wednesday of this week so we
will be having a sub. I will be back on Thursday and Friday. Don’t forget to sign your student’s field trip permission slip. Students should have brought this home last Friday. They need to bring it back by this Thursday or they will not be able to get a school lunch. Our Field Trip will be March 17th, to BYU’s Bean Museum. If you would like to be a volunteer and come with us, please fill out the volunteer section of the yellow permission slip.
Here is what we are doing in class this week:
Reading: This week we will be reviewing identifying the
problem and solution, and other important events in a story. We will also talk
about visualizing what we are reading. Our spelling is list #21 with closed
syllables. Students should be spending 20 minutes studying their words this
week. They should also be reading 20 minutes a night and filling out their
reading logs.
Math: This week we will be continuing our Geometry unit by
focusing on angles. We will be learning about how angles go around in a circle.
We will identify fractions of a circle and the angles they are. We will learn
that angles are measured by degrees and will learn how to use a protractor to
find how many degrees an angle is.
Writing: This week we will be doing another opinion essay.
We reviewed how to write and opinion essay last week and this week students
will do their own that will be graded. They will be writing about the Genetic
Traits of animals. They have through Friday to work on this in class. If they
are not done on Friday, they should finish it over the weekend at home.
Science: As we continue to talk about different animals and
UT environments, we will look at the difference between vertebrates and
invertebrates. There is also an exciting animal adaptation project that the
students will get to do during class this week. We will also start discussing
the web of life and the fact that everything is related.
Social Studies: This week in social studies we will be
talking about what life was like for the Pioneers after they settled down in
Utah. We will learn about some of the different cities they settled, implements
they used, and talk about how their life was different from our life now.
This week’s homework:
Read 20 mins each day and fill out a pink reading log
Spelling #21 – 20 mins study
Lesson 10.4-P195, 10.5-P197, 10.6-P199, 10.7-P201

Thanks!

Dear Parents,
We had such a fun Valentine’s Day Party! We had a blast
doing art projects, passing out Valentines, and doing the activities the parent
helpers planned! Thank you to all of you parents that helped in any way,
including making Valentines Boxes. They all looked so good! Don’t forget Skate
Night at Classic Skating on Thursday! It should be tons of fun!
Here is what we are doing in class this week:
Reading: This week we will be reviewing and taking our Unit
4 test. Then we will read a reader’s theater together. There will be no
spelling homework, but instead there will be another writing homework. This
time we will be writing an explanatory essay on how watching television today
is different from the past. We will have time to work on this in class, but if
students don’t finish by Friday, they should be taking it home to work on as
well. They need to do a prewrite, type it, revise and edit, share with me, and
put it in My Access. They should also be reading 20 minutes a night and filling
out their reading logs.
Math: This week we will be continuing our Geometry Unit. We
will learn how to classify quadrilaterals, find lines of symmetry, and complete
shape patterns. For Target Time we will continue to review mixed numbers.
Writing: This week we will start our review of explanatory
writing. We will write and essay altogether that will not be graded, but is
just for students to remember how to do it. This will help them with their
writing homework for the week, because this will be an example of how to do
their homework essay. Then we will review how to do an opinion essay. We will
be trading on an off each week between these for the next several weeks to
prepare students for their Sage Writing Test this spring.
Science: We will discuss elevation and tie it into forests.
We will also start learning how to classify
trees and animals using classification charts. There is a fun activity this
week involving classifying different kinds of chips to introduce this
classification concept.
Social Studies: This week in social studies we are going to
be talking more about the Mormon Pioneers. We will talk about important events
with them, what it was like for them coming to Utah, and what it was like
settling here in Utah.
This week’s homework:
Read 20 mins each day and fill out a pink reading log
Television Essay
Lesson 10.1-P189, 10.2- P191, 10.3-P193

have such a wonderful class this year! Just don’t forget, all missing
assignments need to be in by Tuesday, February 14th. Also, on

Valentines Day Party. Students should make and bring a Valentines box to school
that day. If they can’t make one at home, they are welcome to make one with me
at recess. Students are welcome to bring Valentines to pass out that day as
well. We have 28 students in our class. If you cannot get Valentines for your
student, let me know and I’ll take care of it.

words this week. They should also be reading 20 minutes a night and filling out
