Quarter 2, Week 5

   In Reading, we have continued to do Daily 5. The students have learned Word Work. The Word Work is from Sitton Spelling.  We will be having Spelling tests, but the tests will be about every two to three weeks and the spelling lists will be more individualized based on the words each student needs to work on based on high frequency words.

   In 4th and 5th Grade Writing, we learned about expository writing and learned how to write an accordion paragraph.  We have been working on gratitude  journals and you will be seeing those come home on Tuesday. We have also been working on our Spelling in Writing as well.

   In Projects, we started learning about Colonial and American Revolution times.  The students made bonnets, Yankee Doodle hats, and powdered wigs for their entry event.  We will start researching important people of this time this week. The students will have to choose their important person for their wax museum.  

   Here are a few pictures from our entry event :) 

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!
