This week, students will take an Achieve 3000 article, "What's 9/11?", and sequence key events and study cause and effects. Students are working on written response questions and I'm modeling what significant information needs to be in their answers. This has been an eye-opener as students are really grasping what an excellent response looks like.
We'll continue with Word Work and I'm trying to transfer these words to their writing. I'm hoping that these lessons with common sight words will help students become better spellers. In math, we continue with fractions. We're focusing on equivalent fractions and going deeper with fractions and whole numbers. I test students daily on their multiplication facts so keep working with your student at home. There are some great apps that might be helpful to give your student more practice. In writing, we will finish our unit on realistic fiction and move on to biography reports. In social studies, we've studied how the arrival of settlers resulted in many changes for the Tuscarora Native Americans. Changes continue. Students will look locally and see the changes that have occurred in Raleigh and Wake County with the invention of locomotives, the Civil Rights Movement, and the development of the RTP. Thank you for all you do! I truly appreciate the support from you! Amy Flowers [email protected]
