Writing
This week we will start our persuasive essays! It will be nice for students to use the same structure and organization as our opinion piece. Because of Thanksgiving break, we will not have another spelling test until Friday, December 2nd!
Reading
In reading groups, we are continuing to research natural disasters. Group members are working to create a "magazine" with articles using different text structures and text features. They're doing a great job researching!
Math
We finished Chapter 5 with our test on Friday! This means that we are moving on to division in Chapter 6! So, it is still very important that students study their multiplication and division facts!
Social Studies
In Chapter 2 this week we talked about Missouri becoming a state and important cities in Missouri. We also briefly discussed important events such as Lewis and Clark and the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails. We will revisit these big events in our history! Right now we are currently researching famous Missourians.
