Dear Parents,

We’re going to have a great upcoming week. Below is a short description of what’s coming up and important links and/or announcements:

Reader’s Workshop

We will continue our deep study of character unit. The kids will be interpreting which character traits matter the most to our characters, trying to lift the level of the way we write about reading, and consider the myriad pressures that are affecting characters. I’ll check their notebooks at the end of next week to see what work they have done.

Writer’s Workshop

The kids will use their claims from this week to draft and finish their first literary essay.

Math

Math Answers and Help Here

We will wrap up our unit on expressions and equations by learning about exponents in expressions. We will review on Thursday before the end of unit assessment on Friday which will cover exponents, the distributive property, writing expressions, and writing and solving equations.

History

We have a light week for history and will do a tiny project regarding the gods of Greek mythology.

Science

We will start a new unit on weather.

Thank you,

Mr. Gray
