This week in...
READING: We will be learning how to research nonfiction this week and applying what we learned about summarizing nonfiction to a group research project. Students will be put into groups and given a natural disaster to research. Students will apply what they've been learning about the main idea and supporting details to highlight relevant information. Students will be assessed on their ability to summarize nonfiction, work in a group/team environment, and present information to a small group of students.
WRITING: Students will finish their Resolutions Essay this week during writing and edit and revise their own work. Students picked three goals for themselves, and are working to write a five-paragraph essay that explains what their resolutions are, why they chose each goal, and how they are going to accomplish them! There is no Word Study this week.
VA STUDIES: Students will have their Colonial Life Unit Test on Wednesday, December 16th. We will review over the next two days and students are encouraged to use their study guides and solpass.org to review.
SCIENCE: Students will have their Clouds Quiz on Thursday, December 17th. Students will be expected to match descriptions of the following clouds: cumulus, stratus, cirrus, and cumulo-nimbus. Students are also expected to know how clouds are formed and what type of clouds produce precipitation.
If you share these posts with your child, you can let him or her know that the Elf on the Shelf went on to join forces with the Union army and defeated the Confederate States of America to win the Civil War.
