Learning objectives for the week:
Unit of Inquiry Theme: Sharing the Planet: An inquiry into communities and the relationships within and between them.

  • We will continue to learn about various contributors to our society. We will be choosing an individual whose actions had a significant impact on the American Revolution and we will learn how to research information about them and write to reflect on their contributions. In our research we will take note of how authors organize text and how we, as readers, can determine the author's viewpoint in text. There will be an assessment on Friday on author's viewpoint. If you would like your child to practice at home, they may bring home their inquiry notebook. 
  • We will learn how to use the correct verb tense in our sentences. We will have a classwork task on this on Friday 9/14.
  • In math we will continue our learning of how to add and subtract mu;ti digit numbers with regrouping using the standard algorithm. Assessment will be Thursday. Here are some resource videos for adding and subtracting using the standard algorithm that might be helpful.

  • We will be starting to learn about Ecosystems and communities within ecosystems.

Permission slips and money for our field trip is due on Friday 9/14. We would love all students to be able to participate. If there is a financial need, please reach out to me via email.  I am looking for 2 parent volunteers. You will need to drive your own car to the Nature Center to meet us there and your entry fee must be paid by the 9/14 deadline as well. Please let me know if you are available. Please keep in mind, I can not release your child to ride with you and we ask that you please do not bring siblings. Thank you for your understanding.
