Classroom News
I hope everyone had an enjoyable break. I hope you were able
to spend some time together as a family doing something that you enjoy.
I hope you are ready to jump right back into school and
learning. I know I am! We have a lot of new things that will be happening in
our classroom. In reading we will be starting a new unit that includes folk
tales, fairy tales, myths, and fables. Students will be reading some stories
they are very familiar with, as well as stories from other countries and
cultures. Students will learn the characteristics of each of these genres,
retell stories in their own words, and identify the lesson or moral of the
story. This is always a favorite unit.
In math we will be starting a geometry unit that includes finding
are and perimeter of plane shapes. Students will relate finding the area of a
shape to multiplication. (Area= length x width)
In writing we will am opinion/persuasive writing unit. I have
lots of great mentor texts that I will be sharing with the students to help
them write a great piece of persuasive that will help them get what they want.
This is a really fun unit.
We will not be having word work (Spelling words) for the next
few weeks. We will be using our word work time to help us prepare for the
upcoming MCAS.
Have a fantastic week!
