This week in:
Virginia Studies: Students will begin to learn about the native American groups that lived/ live in Virginia and how American Indians used the natural resources of Virginia to live. Students will review the major waterways of Virginia tomorrow, and have a quick quiz on the waterways on Tuesday. Students need to know the location of the major waterways we've studied (Potomac River, Rappahanock River, York River, James River, Chesapeake Bay, Atlantic Ocean, Dismal Swamp, and Lake Drummond). Students should use www.solpass.org to review AND their VA Studies notebook.
Science: Students will continue to learn about the natural resources of Virginia. We will continue to explore how "we all live downstream." Students will reinforce their understanding about watersheds through their writing this week.
Reading: Students will continue to develop their comprehension skills by practicing multiple strategies like making connections, retelling, and actively thinking about their reading.
Homework: Students should read for 20 minutes nightly and record the pages and minutes read on the calendar side, and the books they are reading on the back of the page.
Writing: Students will work on their own story about the journey of a raindrop this week. They will work through the writing process to create a story that demonstrates their understanding of how the way we treat the environment affects all of us. Students will receive new word study words this week.
Homework: Word study. The list of assignments are glued to the front cover of each student's word study notebooks.
