Mr. Gray’s Class Podcast

Class Website

Reader’s

Workshop

The kids will continue to study the character’s journey. We will learn to pay close attention to the climax of the story, noticing how the main character is tested and we’ll discuss how characters resolve big trouble.

Writer’s

Workshop

The kids will work on their next literary essay. This time, students will grow an idea from their own story, find evidence, and then write an essay. Among other things, we will use mentor texts to improve our writing and really discuss how to use paragraphs (and make sure we are using paragraphs).

Math

What happened to math class?

We will wrap up our study of division (for the moment) and celebrate the 100th day of school (Tuesday) with a math game!

Social

Studies

We will shift our focus from the federal government to the government of the state of California.

Science

The kids will continue to watch the caterpillars change and keep track of that change.

Thank you,

Mr. Gray
