Reading: This week the students learned about author's purpose. We also continued finding the main idea and supporting details. The 4th graders turned this into a summary. The students also focused on restating their questions and using evidence based terms when answering questions.
They will have a Latin/Greek test on Thursday 2/9.
Writing: We started a new writing this week. Each student is researching and writing about a different deep sea creature.
Grammar: We continued working on plural, possessive and plural possessive nouns. The students had an assessment on Thursday. Overall they did well.
Projects: We finished up our Earth's systems project. We presented to the 5th graders.
Misc.: Check your email regarding Valentine's day. Your student may bring in cards for everyone. Don't have them fill out who the card is to. This will help speed up the handing out process. Please do not send in cards or Valentine's boxes until February 14th.
Student council will be selling candy grams during lunch time. They are $.75 a piece or $10 if you would like to purchase for the entire class.
I will be submitting the Scholastic bookorder on Thursday. Don't forget to get your bookorders in!
