Spelling: Our spelling pattern this week includes words with /ar/ and /or/.
Reading: This week we are focusing on the skill of visualizing and the comprehension strategy of making inferences.
Writing: We are beginning our new WEX unit this week. Students will be reading the book My Name is Maria Isabel by Alma Flor Ada. We will be identifying character traits that the main character possesses and using evidence to support our claims. There will be no new writing words for the month of December.
Grammar: Our focus is identifying and using action verbs.
Math: We are beginning Unit 5: Place Values. Students will be focusing on large numbers this week.
Social Studies: We continue studying the Midwest region of our country. Each student has been assigned a Midwest state to research and complete a project. More information about this will be sent home soon!
Weekly Reminders
* The December Student Challenge will be sent home on Friday. It will be due before winter break.
