Hello parents,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Spelling- Sorts 22, 23, 24. Focus on sort 24 this week. The spelling quiz will be on February 14th. Please note that this is one day earlier than normal due to the holiday on the 15th. Reading- This week, we will continue comparing two stories written by the same author, topic, or characters. The goal is for students to compare and contrast the themes, settings, and plots of the stories. Students will have a reading test next week on text structures and comparing the themes, plots, settings, and characters of two stories. Writing- We will continue to work on opinion writing. Students are learning to write opinion pieces on topics or texts. Students are learning that opinion writing includes a point of view supported with evidence from the readings. They are learning to introduce the topic or book they are writing about, state an opinion, and create an organizational structure that lists reasons. Students are using linking words and phrases (e.g., because, therefore, since, for example) to connect their opinion and reasons. They are learning to write a concluding statement or section. Grammar- Students will continue working on prefixes, suffixes, and roots. Science – Students will be completing the science unit on Fossils. There will be an end-of-unit assessment this week. Please have students study the review page and other material glued into their science notebook. Social Studies – Our next unit will be on American Government. Upcoming dates and reminders: * Valentine’s Grams for sale until February 13 * Thursday February 14 – Young Georgia Author’s Competition entries due. * Thursday February 14 – Happy Valentine’s Day! Students may exchange cards during snack. * Friday February 15 and Monday February 18 – School Holidays, * Tuesday February 19 – Professional development for teachers.
