Week of October 16th-20th!!!

I am looking forward to meeting and talking with everyone’s parents this week at conferences. Please let me know if you need to change a date or time. I am currently booked Wednesday night and Thursday night, but could make arrangements for another time if needed. Here are some important dates for the week:

1. Reading logs due on Wednesday, not Friday this week (sorry-I forgot to update that on the form). Students only need to do their reading on Monday and Tuesday this week.
2. No school- Thursday, October 19th and Friday, October 20th due to conferences

ELA: This week we will begin our unit on Author’s Purpose and why they write in a manner/style they do. We will focus on persuading, entertaining, and informing audiences. We will also work on the sound pattern -ense (dense, sense, tense). Our spelling test will be on Wednesday since we don’t have school later in the week.
1. Author’s Purpose online board game
2. Author’s Purpose Pop-Up Game
3. Author’s Purpose Review and practice quiz

Science: We started this short week off with our science assessment over first quarter learning targets. We will then spend the rest of the week learning about the Scientific Method- how scientists ask and answer questions fairly. Check out these practice activities:
1. Scientific Method video, practice quiz, and karaoke song
2. Inky the Squid Scientific Method Game
3. Scientific Method Rap
