Plays of Week #19

Reminders for the Upcoming Week

Monday 1/5 = Back to School

Tuesday 1/6 = Library Check-out 

Thursday 1/8 = PTA exec. meeting 4pm

Friday 1/9 = Jumpin Joey's Night

Reading = This week we will be thinking about Making Inferences within the books we read.  We will be using mentor texts entitled Amelia's Road by Linda Jacobs Altman and Peppe the Lamplighter by Elisa Bartone.

Writing = Starting off the 3^rd Quarter we will begin our next piece in our Narrative Writing Unit.  As I mentioned before break, we will be taking this piece through the process much quicker than the last piece because we will be using the skills we built upon with our last piece.  Team Meyer will be thinking about a “Memorable Event” in their lives to write about.

Math =  We will continue Chapter 6 and division this week.  Exploring division has been exciting and we will dig deeper into it as we continue this chapter.  This week we will even be taking a look at long division which I know Team Meyer have been asking me a lot about from their work in Aleks.  Remember to practice those multiplication and division facts!

Spelling = We are back to our normal spelling schedule.  Please look for the new words coming home on Monday and we will be testing on Friday.

Content = Science – We will be continuing to think about the 3 States of Matter – solids, liquids, and gases.  We will be exploring within our texts, through real world video clips, and hands-on activities.
