A LOOK AHEAD!
*Mrs. Olsen's Language Arts Class*
*Reading: The students are doing a great job at visualizing the stories we have read in Ten True Animal Rescues! They are finishing up their comic strips. We are done working on them during class, so any unfinished projects should be completed at home and turned in by Tuesday. Any turned in after Tuesday will result in points deducted from the final grade. Our next focus will be on making predictions.
*English: We will continue about sentences this week. We will focus on subject and predicate. We will also take our first DOL quiz on Wed. 9/17. A study guide will be sent home on Monday.
*Spelling: This week we will focus on List 3, words spelled with ou. We will take a pretest on Monday and the final graded test on Friday. The students are doing great on their spelling tests, so keep up the good work!
Mrs. Olsen's Homeroom (Science and Social Studies)*
*Science: The students are still learning about the human body. We have learned about the skeletal and muscular systems so far. Next week we will focus on the circulatory and nervous systems. At the bottom of my blog page are links to click to play some body games! Have your child take a quiz and see how well they do!
*Social Studies: The students did an excellent job on their directions unit. We will study continents and oceans next. There is a graded review scheduled for Thurs. 9/18. A study guide was sent home today. Look at the bottom of my blog page to see some fun games to review the continents and oceans!
*Mrs. Olsen's Math Class*
*Math: We are continuing to work on greater numbers. We will work on 5 and 6 digit numbers. The students are learning about the expanded, standard, and written form of these numbers, as well as place value. On the bottom of my blog page, you can click on the links to find some fun place value games for your child to play and learn more. The test has been scheduled for Wed. 9/17. Our next unit will be rounding and comparing numbers.
