Week of September 2nd

Here's what to look forward to this week:

Reading:  
We will continue with our novel study on the book Wonder! We will be discussing possible meanings of precepts from the book such as “Your deeds are your monuments.” We will also be studying some important vocabulary.

Writing/Language:  
We begin drafting our memoirs this week. We will also be looking at how authors use transitional words and figurative language in their own writing so we can use it in our memoirs!

Math: 
We will continue to practice our basic multiplication facts and our study of place value/forms of numbers. 
Students will be required to study multiplication flash cards for ten minutes a night until they master their facts. Please initial their studying log nightly.  


Science/Social Studies: 
In science we review and test the process skills. We will then be discussing safety precautions scientists use, along with the scientific method.
In social studies we will be studying primary sources on Native Americans and build Native American homes!!
