MUR - This week we will read the story "Prot and Krot." We will do several character and retell related activities throughout the week. Along with the story we will work out of our Wordly Wise books which focus on vocabulary. This week we will be starting Lesson 9. We will also work out of our Analytical Grammar books where we have just about finished our workbooks! We will still continue to work on indentifying nouns, proper nouns, articles, adjectives, pronouns, prepositions, verbs, and adverbs within sentences. Spelling homework is due Friday.
MUM - This week we will review concepts that students struggled with on the second interim that we took before break and also finish up with decimals. We need to review multiplying decimals and then start working on dividing decimals. Basic facts homework is due Friday!
History - This week we will be starting our Dynasties of China unit. The unit has a total of ten chapters and we will be spending the next two and a half weeks working through these chapters. The quiz will be on all ten chapters and will be given on January 18th (tentatively). There is NO at home project with this unit.
Writing - This week we will finish our final drafts of our Three Little Pigs stories. We will have a publishing party on Tuesday/Wednesday to share our published work. Next, we will be working on how to explain a process in writing. For example: directions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Read Aloud - We are taking a break from our 4th grade Core Knowledge novels and reading the book "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen. Students are loving the adventure so far!
