What are we learning next week with Mrs. Gosney?
Reading- We will continue learning about Story Elements this week. Throughout the next two weeks we will be learning about plot. Students will need to know the definitions of each level of a plot diagram as well as be able to apply these definitions while reading a story. We will continue reading Because of Mr. Terupt as our class read-aloud.
English- Wordly Wise lesson 1 continues this week. I was pleased with the grades I saw on the first classwork assignment last week. Wordly Wise is difficult and students will improve as they get the hang of how the activities are structured. Please encourage your student to study the meanings of the words. They have very specific meanings that will be used in the vocabulary review.
Math 5- Students will continue to work on computation skills. We will finish working with computation this week. There will be a test on Thursday. Please make sure that your student knows their math facts. As they progress through the grades now, mastery of math facts becomes more important to ensure that students are able to keep up with instruction.
Math 5/6- Students will show their mastery of Integers and Absolute Value by completing a test on Tuesday. On Wednesday, we will begin learning about square numbers and exponents so that we can use them in our next study of Order of Operations.
