Vocabulary Homework Begins:
Starting this week, we will shift our word work focus from spelling to vocabulary. Students will not be assessed on their ability to spell the ten assigned words, but rather on the meaning of each word in the context of a sentence. On Monday, they will receive the ten words, the definitions, and the nightly assignment. Please note, this will replace the spelling homework routine.
Math:
We will be exploring how to find the area of rectangles using square units and the multiplication formula.
Reading:
Students will learn how to compare and contrast themes, settings, and plots of two stories. Students will apply this understanding to their read aloud: Thundercake.
Grammar:
Students will be comparing adjectives.
For example: fast, faster, fastest
Writing:
Students will begin the new year writing resolutions for 2020. Additionally, we will continue the work we began before the break on opinion writing.
Social Studies:
We will shift from science to social studies by looking at the Exploration of the New World.
