Week of January 11th

Good Morning- happy Tuesday!

We hope everyone has survived the snow and the cold- should be warming up by the end of the week!

This week in...

Reading:  We will finish our jigsaw cooperative learning groups about an invention by Wednesday of this week.  On Thursday we will start our fact and opinion flip book about a famous person of our choice.  Most of the assignment will be done in school but students should have a book about their famous person.  Computers will be available for further research but we want them to also research from a book!  This project should take us through next week :)

Spelling:  Lesson 16 this week

Religion:  Chapter 6

4th LA: subject verb agreement with compound subjects- WOW!

5th LA: Starting a persuasive essay

4th SS:  We have the preliminary rounds for the geography bee this week!  Each classroom will have one winner who will represent that class in the school bee- GOOD LUCK!  We will then continue with our Southeast Tour!

5th SS:  We will also have the preliminary rounds for the geography bee this week!  Each classroom will have one winner who will represent that class in the school bee- GOOD LUCK! On Wednesday we will be starting Chapter 6 which is all about colonial life.  If the students have any questions about their projects I will leave time at the beginning of the class to respond!
