English Language Arts

HOMEWORK IS STILL DUE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14TH. 

Reading - We will look at the skill of Understanding Characters and move to lesson 8.

Grammar - We will continue to talk about Verbs. Additionally, students will have time to review the following skills: Common and Proper Nouns and Complete Sentences vs. Fragments. There will be a summative assessment on the grammar skills covered in Lessons 4 to 7 on Wednesday, November 20th. 

Social Studies

We will finish talking about Arizona's 5C's. The students will finish their photo collages during tech time this week. 

Math 

We are doing multiplication of up to four digit by single-digit  numbers. The students will be using a strategy called partial product, which is probably something you are unfamiliar with. Please let your child teach this strategy. We will also be using the area model. Soon the students will use the standard algorithm. 

This week, the timed test is x3. The students will take it Thursday after the field trip for a grade. It is 1 minute for 20 problems. We took the pretest today, so your child knows how hard he/she has to study for this quiz. 

Science

We have started a new module, Chemistry, Matter, and Interactions. This week, the focus is on matter. The students will use a triple beam balance to measure mass. We will have a vocabulary quiz on Friday. 
Religion 

We are memorizing the Suscipe this week. We will be finishing The Joyful Mysteries.
