Ms. Tiberio's class would like to welcome a pre-intern, Ms. Micolucci, from the University of North Florida, she will join us every Friday until December!  We look forward to having her!

Academics:

ELA:

We are  making progress navigating through our new curriculum.  It has been challenging to the students but I see great effort and good results!

We will have our end of the unit curriculum assessment on Monday for Reading.  It is not anything that can be studied for beyond previous participation in class.  Students will be given a grade level text with multiple choice questions as well as an essay to respond to regarding the text.  We have been reading, writing,  and annotating text to answer questions in preparation as well as continuing our study of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights document.
We will  begin our novel study on Tuesday!  The novel is Esperanza Rising and I can't wait!
As I said, we have only a class set so if you would like to purchase your child a copy that would be beneficial! 

We will have an RRJ due on Friday again this week.  Remember this is a test grade and adheres to very specific requirements.  The requirements are posted inside the journals. Please make sure your child has their independent reading book at school every day. Thank you!

We have a vocabulary test as well with our "poly" words below!





Vocabulary Words:

Math: This week we will focus on multiplying and dividing decimals using area models, and our understanding of the place value system.  Please continue to review the videos that I send that might be helpful in explaining what we are working on.

i-Ready can be accessed anytime for additional support and practice!

Monday, September 28th: we will have our Module 1 assessment, this has FSA style questions to assess the 16 lessons we have covered so far!  We will review briefly before the assessment.

Science: We will discuss weathering and erosion this week--students will complete a Venn diagram to show the similarities and differences between them. We will use several different resources to research these things: PowerPoint, Sciencesaurus textbook, PSELL textbook.  We will also do an exploration looking at different scientists tools, students will explore with these.
