This week we are working on two reports. One is the S.S. tribe research report and the other is the D.A.R.E. report. The D.A.R.E. report final draft is due Thursday. The tribe research report will be due on Friday. We are working on these during L.A. The students are required to write a rough draft; have a peer read it over, look for mistakes, and sign the bottom; then write a final draft. Most of the students have started the tribe rough draft, some are finished with the rough draft.
The S.S. tribe project (either a poster, diorama, or powerpoint) is due Monday. We will be presenting these Monday and Tuesday.
Speaking of Tuesday, we have a 2-hr delay and our school wide (4th & 5th grade) spelling bee. We have 4 students participating in this bee!
In L.A. we are working on good summary writing. We use the 5 Ws strategy (who, what, where, when why/maybe how). So practice this at home if you like.
In Math we are starting to learn about fractions. We will be focusing on fractions for the entire 3rd nine weeks.
The 2nd nine weeks ends Friday the 17th!! So look for grade cards in about 2 weeks. Also Friday will be Risner's Reading Party :)
