S.S. (BOTH CLASSES) We are learning about inventors this week. We will be doing an “in-class” research project on inventors. Our test on Immigration will be tomorrow. Students were given notes last Tuesday to study for this.
Reading: We are continuing our last unit on the novel Cricket in Times Square. It is a fun, fiction novel to read while we prepare for our state test at the end of this month. We will continue to have cold reads with multiple passages and writing tasks to match to prepare for this.
Spelling: We are on unit 22 this week searching for and using words with the suffixes er and est.
Writing: Our writing now consists of 2 or more paragraphs and students are doing great using the RACE strategy for each paragraph! Keep it up!
