ELA
Students will be practice on understanding explicit and implicit evidence. We will also continue our focus on understanding parts of speech and narrative writing. This week students will work on developing ideas and organizing their thoughts via pre-writing.
For vocabulary and spelling I focus on Latin and Greek root
words. Focusing on root words, and
later on prefixes and suffixes, helps students to understand the foundations of
language. Additionally, I’ve found
that students use their new understanding of words to improve their word choice
while writing. The vocabulary will
be part of their homework approximately every other week, and they’ll have
their quizzes on Fridays. Students
can visit my quizlet site to help prepare for the quiz.
Math
This week we are continuing our focus on understanding number systems and how they create order in our world. We will expand our understanding of using powers of 10 to make metric conversions. Additionally, students will be able to name decimal fractions in expanded, unit, and word forms. Lastly, students will be able to compare and contrast the value of decimals to the thousandths and express comparisons with <, >, and =.
Science: How are living things organized
Students are going to continue working on understanding how living things are organized.
Social Studies: Bill of Rights & Amendment Change Process
The first social studies assessment on the Bill of Rights
and the Amendment Change process will be on Thursday, August 25th. Students should use their notes and the
quizlet to study.
Students have been working well together and I appreciate how they practice their social and communication transdisciplinary skills.
