Week of November 11th

Weekly Learning:

Reading: We will read Home Place (Lexile Level 760).  As we read this text, we will examine how the character influences the story and identify character feelings/actions and traits citing text examples.  We will also read many multiple meaning words and have to decide the definition using context clues and text evidence as support.
Spelling: Please the check the spelling tab at the top of the blog.
Writing: We will be writing friendly letters.  Our focus will be having all required aspects of a friendly letter while conveying the message to someone in the past. We will include adjectives and verbs to create a vivid and descriptive story for the reader.
Math: We are preparing for a test over topic 5 of multiplication.  We will play Jeopardy to review and take the test at the end of the week.  Multiplication facts are still a focus in math class and students should be in the area of 40-60 correct on our 5 minute fact tests.
Science: Ms. Hamker is up for new science content this week.  Students will start a journey with matter.  We will explore this topic on our field trip next week at the Avon Lake Public Library's Discovery Works.
