Below is what we will be focusing on in class this week!
In Language Arts, we will be continuing to work our way through Pinocchio. We will be making our way through the next four chapters over the course of the week. Our readings will be discussed and related back to our nine virtues. We will also be having reading groups next Monday, November 10th, that we still need two more parent volunteers for! If you are interested, please let me know as soon as possible! This week will also bring about 30 new words for our spelling test on Friday. Please make sure that these words as well as our phonograms are being studied each night. In the grammar portion of our Language Arts curriculum, we will be continuing our experience with sentence diagramming, as well as focusing on predicate adjectives and linking verbs.
In Math this week, we will be finishing up our multiplication and division unit. We will be a having a thorough review the concepts of multiplication and division, as well as a in-depth review of one-step and two-step word problems before the test, which is on Thursday, November 6. Please be sure that math facts are be reviewed every night. I, personally, recommend using flash cards, but ultimately find a way to review these facts in a way that works for your child and family. Before moving onto to fourth grade, students need to have memorized and mastered multiplications fats from 1 to 9. A mastery of the multiplication facts 1-5 is necessary by the end of this quarter.
In History, we will be focusing on the religion of the ancient Romans. This means an in-depth study of the gods and goddesses! It will be very exciting for all of us! The students will have a quiz on these Roman Gods and Goddesses on Thursday. A study sheet will be sent home on Tuesday and a study guide will be sent home on Wednesday.
In Science, we will be continuing our study of the human body. We will be taking a much closer look at each of the different systems this week!
Please make sure that the students are completing their test corrections, which are due on Monday< November 3rd. I will also need the test signature sheet back.
As always, if there are any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me!
Have a wonderful week!
Best,
Ms. Sexton
