The students will have modified spelling homework this week. There will be a spelling test on Thursday, January 10th.
Reading - We will be looking at Lesson 12 in our Journey's textbook: Sequence of Events. The students will work on activities in class that will take the place of a quiz score this week due to our field trip on Friday.
Grammar - We will begin talking about Possessive Nouns. There will be an assessment sometime next week.
Writing - We will be discussing and writing about our winter break by way of #wintergrams. It is such a fun way for everyone to share about their holidays and at the same time incorporate something familiar to them; social media.
Social Studies
Our focus this week is preparing for our Kartchner Caverns field trip. We will be talking Arizona's land, cave's, field trip expectations, and San Xavier del Bac Mission. Fr Kino, a Jesuit, played a major role in developing this Mission.
Math
Division, division, division! We are using the place value chart, the standard algorithm, and checking our work using multiplication. We are only doing problems with a single-digit divisor. The problems may or may not have a remainder.
The x5s test for a grade will take place Thursday, January 10th.
Science
We are learning about how limestone caves are formed, and in the lab we are focusing on chemical changes vs. physical changes.
Religion
We are becoming experts on the Mission San Xavier del Bac.
