MATH   - Mrs. Custer

This week was all about multiplication!  We have looked at three different strategies for multiplying decimals, and will learn even more throughout the unit.  Weekend homework is Lesson 42.

BLOWERS WRITING:    

We will begin writing a persuasive speech on Monday. The kids are very excited about this one! They will choose a fruit or vegetable to do a little research on. Then they will write a persuasive speech about why his/her fruit should be elected fruit/veggie of the year. They will present their speeches, slogans, and campaign posters. 

READING: with Mrs. Blowers

  We will wrap up book clubs by Tuesday. Students will bring home all assignments stapled together. Next we will read and perform plays as I promised them! We will move into some nonfiction after until our next genre unit.

 
Social Studies with Mrs. Custer

We have had fun learning more details about the colony of Jamestown, its founders and its problems.  Using primary sources like maps and lists of travelers, the kids have been able to come up with many insightful questions and thoughts about the colony and its settlers.

Science with Mrs. Blowers 

We completed our unit about moon phases, solar and lunar eclipses, and the tides. Our test will be Wednesday. The students should be studying the study stacks I emailed them and were to take home journals to study the moon phases.  We will continue review next Monday and Tuesday.

Spelling:     

The Lesson 16 test was Friday.We will not have spelling next week, but focus on grammar activities within reading.
