THIS WEEK WE BEGIN READING A PLAY, "WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS?"  WE WILL DISCUSS THE QUESTION, "WHAT DO ANIMALS DO WHEN SEASONS CHANGE?" STUDENTS WILL LEARN ABOUT THE /J/ SPELLED DGE .  THEY WILL LEARN TO COMPARE THINGS BY ADDING -ER OR -EST.  PLUS WE WILL DO MORE WITH CONTRACTIONS, THIS TIME CONTRACTIONS WITH NOT.  WE ARE TRYING TO SO MORE AND MORE WRITING - PARTICULARLY SENTENCES. 

 

 IN MATH WE WILL BE USING CLOCKS, BOTH ANALOG AND DIGITAL, TO TELL TIME TO THE HOUR AND HALF HOUR.  THIS IS A SHORT TOPIC AND WE WILL TEST ON THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK.  WE CONTINUE TO PRACTICE MATH FACTS DURING THE WEEK.

 

AGAIN, THIS WEEK, THE PSSAs WILL BE GIVEN ON TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.  OUR SCHEDULE WILL BE DIFFERENT AND WE WILL NEED TO BE ESPECIALLY QUIET.
