elling - Unit 18 - Words with "ch" & "tch"
Words this week will contain the letters "ch" or "tch". Students will learn that if the final "ch" sound comes after a consonant or a two letter vowel, the ending is -ch. If the final "ch" sound follows a one letter vowel, it's usually written -tch. The final TEST is scheduled for Friday, 1/27.
ELA / Reading - Unit 1 - Profile in Courage Culminating Project
Students will continue to work on the slide show for their Profile in Courage project. They will be given time to work in school, but should expect that some work will be done at home. We will convert the slide show into flip books in school on 1/25. Presentations will begin on 1/26.
We will complete our study of punctuation and capitalization with a look at how to write titles. Students will complete a chapter review on Thursday. Look for the chapter 5 TEST to be scheduled during the week of 1/30.

Science - "What are Some Life Cycles of Plants?"
We will begin a new unit that focuses on life cycles of plants and animals in Science. Students will complete an investigation that answers the question "Do plants need light to germinate?" We will also take a look at the process of photosynthesis.

Mrs. Bell's Math Class - Unit 4 Multiplication & Division of Whole Numbers and Decimals
Our study of the standard algorithm for double digit multiplication will continue at the beginning of the week. Below is a model that demonstrates WHY the algorithm works. I love this lesson because Bridges requires that students go beyond memorization to learn this concept. Ask your child to explain the algorithm and how partial products work.
