Writing: This week students will continue learning about opinion writing. They will be learning how to read two passages, read a prompt based on the writing, and making an opinion with reasons to support their opinion. This week they’ll learn how to write a conclusion for an opinion essay, and then we’ll start the process again with two new articles (first read prompt, then read articles and highlight evidence, next fill-out organizer, then write intro, next write 2 detail paragraphs with evidence and examples from the articles, and finally a conclusion). We will be focusing on this genre of writing for the next several weeks. Math: All students will continue making and practicing multiplication flashcards each morning. These will be in their binder to practice each night. We will start division facts when we are done with the multiplication facts. Feel free to practice at home. Students who have these facts memorized have less struggles in math in 4th – 6th grade.
Science: This week we will continue a new unit in science involving pollution and its effects on plants and animals. So far they have learned negative effects of pollution in our air and water. This week we’ll learn about ways to solve pollution problems. We will conclude this unit with a project and a test on Wednesday, Nov. 3.
