Update 9/25

Hi Parents!

Happy Monday!  Tonight's homework is page 289 in the textbook.  Mrs. Vermillion's class is currently able to access Think Central for help, but Mrs. Thompson's class is having some "technical difficulties," so students do not have access to online materials.  Please encourage your child to look back into the section if they need help.

This week in reading, our fiction text is My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother, by Patricia Polacco.  With this text, we're working on character analysis and using text evidence to support ideas.  Our non-fiction selection is "Running Wild," an article from Scholastic magazine.  Students are using this text to practice close reading strategies.  In writing, we continue to work on editing skills and on composing personal narratives.  Next week students will begin working through the 5-step writing process to publish one of the rough drafts they've created over the last few weeks.

In Science and Social Studies, Mrs. Thompson's class will be going to Ms. Vermillion to work on a project that introduces them to the 5 regions of the United States.  Mrs. Vermillion's students will go to Mrs. Thompson to finish up their study of scientific inquiry and to begin a unit focused on earth science.

Finally, please don't forget that Wednesday is  Professional Development Day, which means no school for students.

Have a wonderful evening!
