Highlights for the Week of 2/10/14
in Mrs. Bell's Classroom
Spell
ing - Compound WordsThis week's spelling lesson will focus on Compound Words. The cursive/workbook pages OR challenge work will be collected on Friday, 2/14. The final test for the lesson will also be that day.
Reading - I Can Summarize
While reading chapter 5 in Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, we will focus on the reading strategy of summarizing. We will also begin practicing how to write an extended response, which is a skill that will be assessed on the ISAT tests in March. We will study the formula for how to write a response by working with picture books, and write some responses in the whole group setting.
English- Adjectives
Social Studies - The Ojibwa
The next topic that we will study in Social Studies is the Native Americans of the Midwest region, The Ojibwa. We will focus on their culture, and how it has developed from the past into the present.
The chapter 4 TEST is scheduled for Tuesday, 2/11. On Wednesday, I will introduce the final project for the human body unit. Students will work in pairs to research a body system, and to create a slide presentation about their system that will be presented to the class. They will be given time in school to work on the project, but they should expect that some of the work will also be done at home.
Mrs. Bell's Math Class - Unit 7 - Patterns and Sequences
The pretest for Unit 7 is scheduled for Monday. This unit begins with a look at nonnumeric and numeric patterns, and sequences.
