HOMEWORK, MONDAY SEPTEMBER 12: Word Wisdom, pp. 12-13, (QUIZ FRIDAY for Word Wisdom Unit 1, Part 2)
SCIENCE WEEK
It has been a week since I have posted. It was a busy week last week for sure! I will try to update daily again.
Last week, we completed our study and review of capitalization, as the students finished with a quiz on Friday. I thought a good number of students did a nice job, but make sure you review with your son/daughter major skills of capitalization, such as not capitalizing minor words in a title i.e. (Back to the Future).
We also continued with writing as we discussed and reviewed topic sentence, and writing supporting details for a topic sentence. We did examples in class and even had homework with this skill one night. Students are expected to be able to write a basic paragraph with a topic sentence, three supporting details, and a concluding sentence. Next week, we are going to take it a step further and begin narrative writing.
In science, we are continuing with the "Earth's Changing Surface" Unit. We are discussing terms such as erosion, sediment, weathering, deposition, and water tables. We will be looking at a landform chapter in the Kit Textbook (stays at school), and we will be looking at landform slides, trying to decide what caused the Earth's surface to change in these slides. We are also preparing a Water Table lab for Wednesday/Thursday of this week. BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A PARENT HANDOUT INVITING PARENT VOLUNTEERS FOR THE LAB.
Have a great week, and e-mail me with any questions.
