Good Afternoon!

Week 4 has arrived! Our quarter is flying by! Please talk with your child to see if they have anything missing. Over the weekend, I took everyone’s spiral Language Arts notebook home to review. In this notebook your child does the following activities in it each week: Vocabulary Activities (3 of them each week), Nonfiction Report, and their weekly writing response. I discovered many missing assignments and identified what they needed to finish or ‘Try Again’ on a post-it note. Please help your student finish these activities. I told everyone that is missing work to take home their notebook to work on those assignments tonight. These are all activities that we work on in class and have ample time to complete throughout the week. These should not be incomplete or missing.

In order to keep each student organized, we are now using this weekly planning sheet. 

It will be your child’s responsibility to fill this out each day. If there is ever an assignment they do not finish in class, they will be reminded to write it on their homework sheet so that they don’t forget about it once they get home! Also, this will help you and your child see exactly what they should be working on each night and what is coming up in the future that they could work on as well. I hope this helps! This should be located in the very front of your child’s binder! 🙂

This week:

Language Arts:

-Vocabulary Ch. 11-15 Activities

-Abel’s Island Comprehension Page

-2 Literature Circle Job forms

History- We are a little behind schedule in History. We are still working on last week’s project (Cities of the Renaissance Newspaper)

-Cities of the Renaissance Newspaper (Project#3) We are trying to finish this by tomorrow!

-Da Vinci & Michelangelo (Project #4)

Math-We had our first math test today. I am very happy with the results! If your child scored between 80-100% they received 2 points, 70-79% they received 1 point, and anything below 70% will require your child to try again.

Lesson 11

Lesson 12

Lesson 13

I am looking forward to this week! 🙂
