A Look in the Classroom

1. Language Arts - We will have a 20 word spelling list this week due to the 4 day week. In Grammar we are working on dictation sentences while learning a bit more about the ancient world! We will continue to identify and diagram compound subjects and compound verbs. We are travelling deeper into Narnia and discussing how Aslan can be king, while the White Witch rules over the land.
2. History: This week we begin the unit that we will focus on for the remainder of the quarter: the founding and creation of the American colonies! We'll begin by identifying the original colonies, then dive into the first English settlement, Jamestown in Virginia, and the history behind the establishment of the fort.
3. Math: This week we will continue our study of meters and centimeters, particularly how to add and subtract the two units separately and as compound units. We will have a fun math centers day on Wednesday!
4. Science:  This week we will continue our study of the planets by participating in a fun reader’s theater activity.  A study guide will be sent home on Monday for a short quiz on the planets that will take place on Thursday.  The study guide will be due on Wednesday.  Please use the following quizlet link to help students prepare for this assessment: https://quizlet.com/_3bfuzh.
