Back and On Track

I'm so glad we're back and on track! If I could only seem to get all of my students to wake up and get back into the school routine. As of Monday, we only have 29 days until the ISAT. Every moment of our classroom time is valuable. Lets start acting like it!

Next week's line up includes:
Grammar - We'll move on working with nouns and work on making them possessive (they belong to me!).
Reading - We'll be looking at cause and effect. What causes an event and how it can effect other events (think of a domino arrangement). We'll continue to practice making inferences, and we're going to begin a Book Buddy relationship.
Literature - We'll wrap up our second rounds of literature circle discussions with a creative spin on a talk show in class.
Math - Here comes algebra! Ms. Kessinger LOVES algebra! Mostly, because it is something you use almost every day without knowing it. We'll begin our algebra unit with a bang!
Science - We'll be making power point research projects on the 8 planets.
Social Studies - We'll be brainstorming our classroom contribution to the outside world, how can we make a difference for those less fortunate in other locations.
Can't wait to see you Monday!
