Hello!

Social Studies: Identify the major attributes of the four epochs we have been studying (worksheet.) We summarized a chapter of the social studies text America Will Be together as a class. The students then recorded the interactive summary in their yellow social studies notebooks. Students should use the summary to complete the worksheet.

Language Arts: Context clues worksheet. *For extra credit (a BAM buck), students may choose to identify the type of context clue (synonym, example, cause & effect, antonym, appositive, definitional, comma string, etc...) used in each sentence.

Learning how to use context clues in order to clarify unknown and/or difficult vocabulary is an essential skill students must master as they begin to read increasingly more difficult levels of text.

Reminder: Tomorrow is picture day!

No Homework!

Howdy,

We weren't able to get through our math lesson today. I will not send home work that we have not first reviewed in the classroom, thus there is not any homework this evening. Enjoy the rare evening off.

Cheers,
Miss Klein

Friday Homework

Hello!

A few students took home their memoir writing over the weekend. Please do not help them with their writing. This writing piece will serve as the pre-assessment I will use to group students in writing groups for Writers' Workshop. I do not like to send work over the weekend, but the students chose to finish their work on their own time.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers,
Miss Klein

Reading Log

Please remember to keep track of your nightly reading on your Reading Log. Each week, you will receive a new pink Reading Log in your green Reading Folder.

Please try to come up with a question regarding your reading and any words or ideas you need help clarifying. You should also write a two sentence summary of your reading.

I will collect the green Reading Folders on Friday mornings. Students and parents should sign the logs as a verification that reading was done nightly.

Thank you,
Miss Klein
