Writing/Spelling
In writing this past week, we worked hard on putting our ideas together with the five-paragraph essay format. We also worked hard on our introductions and conclusions, as well as adding transition words. We are working on the final drafts of our personal essays this coming week. Then, we will move on to writing our persuasive essays. In Spelling, students will not get new word sorts until after Thanksgiving break.
Reading
This past week in reading we continued with our historical fiction unit. We used context clues to find information about the setting and time in history. We then took it one step further by determining the tone and mood of the book. We will continue this study this coming week.

Math
In Chapter 5 this past week, we worked hard on two-digit by two-digit multiplication and word problems involving multiplication. Students will be tested over Chapter 5 on Wednesday, 11/19. They will receive the study guide on Monday. Again, students should continue to study their multiplication facts at home.

Social Studies
We have finished Chapter 1 in social studies. This week we will move on with Chapter 2. In Chapter 2, we will learn about Missourians, primary and secondary sources, population maps, and arts, sports, and recreation in Missouri. We will have a test after Chapter 2, and this test will cover both Chapters 1 and 2.
