Dear Parents,
We’re going to have a great upcoming week. Below is a short description of what’s coming up and important links and/or announcements:
Watch these announcements on video here.
Reader’s Workshop
The kids will continue our unit on Deep Study of Character. Next week we will look at how troubles in stories turn into motifs, which turn into themes. We may also start looking for symbolism in our books.
Writer’s Workshop
The kids will spend the week rehearsing and recording their podcasts. We may also start our next unit, journalism.
Math
We will continue our unit on Rational Numbers. We will study the coordinate plane the whole week and the kids will have their first homework quiz of this unit on Wednesday. The homework quiz takes questions directly from their homework. This quiz will go on trimester 3 grades.
History
The kids will finish studying Ancient China! We will study the ancient silk road, the Great Wall, and Terra Cotta Warriors.
Science
The kids will work with Miss Stevens in science lab and research endangered species in our class.
Thank you,
Mr. Gray
