Reading: The genre of drama will be introduced this week. Students will note and notice similarities and differences between the genre of realistic fiction (we've spent a few weeks with this) and our partner plays. Reviewing terms like character, narrator, actor, setting, and stage will help us prepare as students work in groups to read through, analyze and perform plays based on the topic of Thanksgiving.Writing: Forget the Houston Escape Room, the turkey needs our help! Writers will apply author's craft to imaginative stories. They will focus on creating scenarios that might help the turkey escape becoming our Thursday dinner!
Spelling: We will continue to look for spelling patterns to be applied within the context writing in all content areas.
Social Studies: With help from some primary sources, we will look for elements of historical truths about Thanksgiving in our plays.
Math: During class on Monday, we will review the strategies for multiplying that we've learned so far: repeated addition, equal groups picture, jumping number lines, and arrays. On Tuesday, we will learn about the associative property which states that changing the order that the factors are multiplied does not change the product. We will not have a Problem of the Week or Fast Facts on our short week. Your child will have a subtraction review worksheet that will come home on Monday as homework.
Science: In science this week, we will continue talking about light energy. Light energy is a form of energy that helps us see and comes from the sun. During class, we will discuss the difference between natural and artificial light.
