1st Full Week - August 26th

Well, we have done it again!! This time we made a full week of school! We are continuing to get to know each other, made some arrays, took our 1st quiz, and had a fun dance to end the week! Whew! It was packed. Next week, we hope to get into the full flow of the content. The students were excited to use Chromebooks and to know they have their own while at school, but ........... there was a technical outage and it was during our computer time. Students are only allowed to get onto their chromebooks after the initial orientation with Mrs. Black, our TLC.

FAVOR

Please, please, please, if you have not had the chance to get the 4 marble composition notebooks, please try to get them over the weekend. It is so much easier for them to keep up with their notes in the notebook instead of using loose leaf notebook paper. I have held off but we will be going full swing on Tuesday when we come back to school. 

News to Know

Reading

We will work on the skill of questioning and prefixes/suffixes as well as continue to focus on text features. The story they will be testing on will be First Day Jitters on Friday, September 6th. The vocabulary for the story is attached here: First Day Jitters Vocabulary  Prefixes/Suffixes will continue for at least 4 or 5 weeks but students will be responsible for a different set each week. This week it will be un-, in-, non-, and dis-. We will also start working on complete and incomplete sentences.

Math

In math, we just finished our first quiz on lessons 1-3. On Thursday (September 5th), they will take a quiz on lessons 4-6 and on Wednesday (September 11th), they will be taking a quiz on the math vocabulary. I will send the Quizlet for it next week. Some great resources will be Khan Academy (Eureka Math) and Zearn. We will go over those in more depth during our conferences.

Science

In science, we will continue to work on the grasslands. terms they will need to become familiar with include adaptations, producer, consumer, herbivore, omnivore, carnivore, and decomposer - related to grasslands.

Social Studies

We will finish our review of South Carolina and be prepared for a quiz on Friday, September 6. They need to be familiar with the city, county, state, country, and continent they live on as well as know the 2 states and ocean that border South Carolina. this Quizlet can help prepare for the quiz plus everything they will be quizzed and tested on will be in their notebook.
