Week of October 21, 203

Math:  We will be learning about different types of triangles, properties of polygons(mostly quadrilaterals), tessellations, and review for next week's test. Students can expect a test by Tuesday/Wednesday of next week on all of Unit 3. A study guide will be sent home midweek. Please encourage your child to practice individual skills on IXL, as well as math facts on Xtramath.

Writing: Students began typing their final drafts of their personal narratives on Friday on GoogleDocs. We will continue to type/edit our papers. All final drafts are due by Thursday morning. (If students need extra time, they will need to complete them at home). 

Reading/Novels:  This week we will start mini-lessons on monitoring comprehension, in which I model skills and allow for time for students to practice in pairs and independently. We will also switch classes for novels. Students will be told which novel/teacher they have on Monday morning.

Social Studies: Students have a test on Monday afternoon. We will then move straight into Chapter 12 for the rest of the week. We will be starting an LMC project with Mrs. Polito the following week to cover the material we are skipping in Chapter 11. Students will be learning about seeing things from various perspectives (relating to the loyalists, patriots, and neutralists) and connecting that to a current controversial issue today.
