Weekly Update

Writing/Spelling

In writing this past week, we finished our personal essays!  We will start our persuasive essays this coming week.  In Spelling, students will get new word sorts after Thanksgiving break.  

Writing our final drafts 

Reading
This past week in reading we continued with our historical fiction unit.  We will continue to study tone, mood, and theme in the coming weeks.  

Citing evidence in our text responses to our read aloud Wonder
Math
We have started Chapter 6 in dividing with multiples of 10,100 and 1,000 and with estimating.  Soon we will learn long division.  It is very important that students continue to study their multiplication facts at home.  The biggest error I see in multiplication and division is students confusing and not knowing their facts.  

Using a budget to create a Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people
