Spalding: We will NOT introduce any new words next week. Instead, we will test on the words from last week and also review and practice several frequently misspelled words!
Literature: We will continue to work on editing our paragraph describing how Pa makes bullets. We will read chapters 4 and 5 of Little House in the Big Woods. We will compare and contrast Christmas in the Ingalls house with an important holiday in our own homes.
Writing and Grammar: Students will review and classify all parts of speech learned, including sentences containing conjunctions and compound parts. Students will practice identifying the central narrative in a passage, in the story The Magic of Oz by Frank L. Baum.
Math: We will begin a unit on graphing! We will begin by making a tally chart and a simple picture graph. By the end of the week we will be interpreting picture and bar graphs, as well as identifying the range and mode in picture and bar graphs!
Science: We had a lot of fun in Science this week! We made Magnetic SLIME on Tuesday and created catapults to launch PEEPS on Wednesday! Thank you to a few special moms who donated supplies for these fun projects!
Next week we will begin our unit on biographies through reading and learning about a man named Elijah McCoy, an African-American inventor. Do you know the saying "That's the Real McCoy" and where it came from? Ask your scholar about Elijah's important contributions!
History: We are moving on to the Civil War unit. Students will learn about disagreements between the North and the South that resulted in war. Ask your scholar about the Underground Railroad.
Enjoy your long R&R weekend!
With Love,
Mrs. Dombrowski
