Plays of Week #10

Reminders for the upcoming Week...

Tuesday 21st = Fire Prevention Day and Field Trip to the Phantom Tollbooth Play

Friday 24th = Spelling Test

Reading = This week we are continuing our unit in Questioning.  During this unit we will continue to explore expository texts and use schema to articulate what we know about a topic before we read.  This week we will be using the book Animal Senses by Pamela Hickman during our whole group lessons.

  

Writing = Team Meyer finished editing our pieces on Friday (see pictures below).  This week we will publish our pieces and share them with each other.  I am very excited to see what our first trip through the writing process has brought and look forward to watching each writer grow this year!  Later in the week we will be looking to our next writing unit which will be Personal Narratives.  

Math = Last week we took our Chapter 3 Test and it will be coming home tomorrow.  It was a great way to start 2nd Quarter on a positive note!  On Friday, we began Chapter 4 which worked with multiplies of 10, 100, and 1, 00 with basic facts.  Please continue to remind Team Meyer to be practicing their multiplication facts at home to prepare for the next chapters.  It will help tremendously to build confidence.  This week we will be rounding to estimate products and using visual models to multiply.

Spelling = New lists will be sent home tomorrow and we are planning to test on Friday.

Content= Science/Ecology - We will continue to take part in the Nature Unleashed program through the Missouri Conservation Department.  This week we will look deeper into food chains.
