Reading - We will read the story from lesson 9 and talk about the skill of drawing conclusions and making generalizations based on the clues given to us.
Writing - We will begin to work on a Thankful Texts writing project. Each day students will be given a prompt to reflect on and they will "text" (write) about why they are thankful for it.
Social Studies
We will begin our unit on Maps. We will first start with why we use maps, what makes a map a good one, and even create our own map. This will prepare us for our discussions on relief maps and our upcoming project in December of creating a Salt Dough Map of Arizona. More info to come at a later date as we will need parent helpers for this in-class project.
Math
We are continuing to multiply multi-digit by single-digit numbers. The students are familiar with the area model and partial product strategies. This week, we will focus on the standard algorithm.
The students will have a x4 quiz this week. It is timed: 1 minute for 20 problems. PRACTICE!!!
Science
In Science, we are measuring matter using a triple beam balance. The students will separate the linkt from the seeds and trash of our cotton boll samples. They will measure the mass of each in the lab.
Religion
We are in the final stages for our St. Vincent de Paul service project.
