CURRICULUM:
Reading: This week we are moving into bend three of our current reading unit, which focuses on ways to challenge more complicated texts. We will study context clues and figurative language to determine meaning.
Writing: This week we are learning sophisticated ways to revise and organize our writing by paragraphing, integrating different types of details, and using various forms of punctuation (including punctuating dialogue).
Math: Starting tomorrow students will be switching to differentiated math groups. Ms. Lampf, Ms. Mackenzie, and I studied student preassessment data and grouped students by areas of needs. This week all groups will explore regrouping.
Social Studies: This is our last week of map review. We are studying different types of maps and how they are used.
