Curriculum October 17-21
I am looking forward to seeing each of you are parent teacher conferences on Wednesday and Thursday. A sheet about your child's strengths and weaknesses will be coming home in your Monday folder. Please fill it out and bring it to your conference. 

enVision Math
We will continue to work on Multiplication this week. Last week, we learned our 2's, 5's, and 9's. This week we will be multiplying by 0 and 1, analyzing patterns for facts, and looking at 10 as a factor.

Rigby Reading
We will begin Theme 5 "Times Have Changed" in Rigby. The comprehension strategies focused on will be monitor understanding and reviewing synthesizing.
Spelling
Due to the short week, there is NO Spelling this week.

Science
Please remember that the Blazing Insulated House project is due Monday, October 24.

Social Studies
We will continue our geography unit where the students have began doing research on an assigned state.  The culminating Tourism Day has been changed to October 26.
Writing
We will continue our focus on descriptive writing this week.  The students will begin a Monster Writing Project with a school in Ohio.  The students will draw a monster, then write a detailed description about the monster.  The writing will be exchanged where the students will have to draw a monster based on their partner's descriptive writing piece. 

Have a wonderful week!
