News
from 3P
Week
of: November 2, 2015
Reading and
Language Arts: We will continue in our chocolate novel groups this week.
Within these novels we will be working on the following: character traits,
comparing/contrasting characters, themes of chapters and novels and inferencing
and citing evidence. This unit will take
place for 3 weeks. Please encourage your child to share what happened within
their novels each day. **Students should be reading at least 25 minutes for
homework every night!
Grammar: The focus this
week will be comparative and superlative adjectives. Encourage your child to
compare things at home or while driving using these types of describing words!
Writing: This week in
writing, students will be talking about Thanksgiving. The prompt will be “What
do you like best about Thanksgiving and why?” Students will be encouraged to
write it on their own, without a graphic organizer. We will have the steps up
in the room so that students will be able to see what the process is and
continue to use the linking words. We will also keep focusing on the following:
linking words and conventions (grammar, capitalization, and punctuation).
Social Studies: This week we
will begin the study of Native Americans. We will focus on the early groups:
Paleo, Archaic, Hopewell People and Mississippian Mound Builders.
Math: This week we
will be finishing up with place value, addition, and subtraction. We will test
on Tuesday. On Thursday we will be switching groups and heading back to
multiplication. Our focus will be learning our multiples of 4. We will also
review the other facts we have studied: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10.
