Week of Dec 5th

This week we will be starting Unit 3 (Money) in our Language Arts program.  I will be asking students to bring in something to add to our Concept & Question board related to money.   Students can bring in rare money or foreign money (or anything else they want to share that relates to Money).  I will take a picture, print it, and send home the item (for safety).   Practicing the vocabulary (on bottom of each spelling list) will be important as the economics concepts we will be talking about can be challenging.   Our first story is "It's a Deal."

In math, we will finish Chapter 6 (Multiplication x6, 7, 8, 9).  It is very important that your child knows their multiplication facts for this chapter.  I will continue to give students their fact quiz on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

In writing, we have worked hard on Argumentative (Opinion) and Narrative Writing.  This month we will focus on Informational writing.  Informational writing conveys factual information about something.   After practicing, students will be expected to use nonfiction text to create graphic organizers with information.  Students will then take their "notes" and put it into appropriate paragraph form, using their own words, and write multiple paragraphs about their topic.
