Reading- We are studying the elements of fiction this week. It is important to identify the plot elements in stories, and to be able to use those events to write a summary. Students will take a literary fiction plot quiz on Friday!
Writing: Students will begin writing their second narrative paper of the school year. This piece of writing will focus on a favorite moment with a special person.
Math – This week students will continue using addition and subtraction to solve problems. We will also round and estimate to approximate results in problem solving situations. The Addition & Subtraction Study Guide is due on 9/27 and the test is on 9/28 – Major Grade.
Science – This week students will continue learning about the classification of animals and how to compare adaptive characteristics of various species.
Social Studies – Now that we have learned about the Native Americans, we are ready to discuss the explorers who came to Texas next. These explorers were all in search of land and riches.
**Retests are only offered on major grades. Major grades will be labeled as such in the newsletter.
