We only have three weeks left and we have a lot of standards left to cover in this short time! PLEASE make sure your child is here and on time everyday unless they are truly sick.
Language Arts:
We will continue to refine our comprehension skills as we read and understand how stories work. In grammar we will continue to work on synonyms, antonyms, pronouns, multiple meaning words, homophones and guide words.
Writing: Students will be writing their final response to literature during the next two weeks. They will choose a story and write a response that includes a summary, connections, questions to the author, and a recommendation.
Math: We will be finishing the 9 weeks with geometry, time, money and graphing. Please have your child practice counting combinations of bills and coins in larger amounts. Also practice telling time on an analog clock. These can both be tricky skills for some so please help your children to practice these skills often so they maintain these skills! Please make sure your students continue to practice their addition and subtraction facts. These should be mastered by the end of December!!!
Social Studies: We will conclude our unit on the founders of Georgia. Students enjoyed a visit from the Atlanta History Center where they were able to explore Native American artifacts. We had a lot of fun on our Native American rotation day. Students made a variety of crafts while learning about the lives of the Creek and Cherokee.
