Week of December 14th

This is our last full week of school in 2015!!

Reader's Workshop
      We will learn about the last nonfiction text structure this week, and continue to read nonfiction articles. When we return to school in January we will study Mystery as a genre.

Writer's Workshop
      As we begin our informational writing work we will be using what we know about text features and structures to make our writing stronger. This week we will develop a table of contents and an overview of what each chapter will contain.

Math
    Students should be practicing their multiplication facts at home each night. This week we will use what we know about multiplication to solve word problems. We will also practice facts in class by playing games. When we return to school in January we will begin Division!!!

Science
     We are making books about the constellation and studying the temperature of the stars in relation to their color. We will be going into Star Lab in January.

Word Work
     We will continue to investigate prefixes, suffixes and root words. We will also work on contractions.


Thank you to our Mystery Reader Mr. Kapczynski!
