Weekly Report
January 30-February 3, 2023
I hope you enjoyed your weekend. This week will be a busy one. Please take a few minutes to review what is happening in the forest. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Enjoy your week 😊
Below is what we are learning this week:
Math: This week, we will continue with our fraction unit. Students will be adding, subtracting, and decomposing fractions. There will be a quiz on Friday. Please ensure your child is completing homework each night and that all homework has work shown for each problem. I cannot assist your child with understanding his/her mistakes, if they have no work on their paper. Homework that is missing work will result in a deduction of 10 points.
ELA (Reading/Writing/Word Study): We will finish up with plot - the series of events that take place in a story. Students will work on identifying the parts of the plot – exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. There will be a plot diagram quiz on Friday. Students have the diagram/notes in their reading journal. We will also continue with our chapter book - There’s an Owl in the Shower. Nightly homework will consist of students answering chapter questions based on the chapters that we read and discussed in class. Just a reminder that reading responses MUST be answered in complete sentences to avoid a deduction of 10 points.
Science: Unit test on Friday. A study guide was sent home last week.
Social Studies: Students will read and learn what factors influenced the development of the Coast Plain communities.
