Academics:

ELA: We are off and running in ELA! Using Key Details to find Main Idea is the first standard we will be working on this year.  We will have a lesson check/test on this skill on Friday 8/20. I will introduce RRJ's (reader's response journals) on Monday and our first one will be due on 8/27. This is classwork and is a response to the independent reading book each student is reading. For social studies we have begun a study of types of maps. I will introduce a Social Studies Ticket to be completed by 8/20. This is classwork and will be explained to the class on Monday. 

We will have a quiz on 8/20 on the map terms posted here. The Social Studies Ticket is classwork!

I sent home the first Read At Home Log which is due every Thursday! It looks like this! 😉

Math: We are continuing to work through Module 1 understanding decimal place value.  We will also discuss Powers of 10 or Exponents this week.  10 to the 3rd power equals 1,000.

Students have a daily math quiz EVERY FRIDAY!  They are allowed to bring their daily work folder home with them to study but it does need to return to class everyday.  The first 3 weeks of daily math we discuss the quizzes together or they will work with a partner.  Beginning week 4, students will be expected to complete the quizzes by themselves for a weekly quiz grade.  The material from each week we go over in class is what will be covered on the quiz.

Science:  We are continuing to learn about the scientific process and the different type of tools scientists use.  Students will complete the science baseline on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.  This is a tool used to see how much science knowledge they already have--this is not used for a grade.
