Next Week's Agenda

What a great first three days together! I look forward to our first FULL week together next week. Here is what we will be learning about next week (August 27th - 31st): Reading: Lead 21 Week 1. Our theme in reading this week will be "Common Ground: What brings people together?" We will also learn about determining an author's purpose and determining important information while reading. Language: We will be studying the meaning of different prefixes and talking about synonyms and antonyms of our theme vocabulary words. Spelling: Short Vowels Science: We will begin our first unit: Populations and Ecosystems. Social Studies: We will be reviewing our map skills by completing four different Geography Challenges! Fun! Math: We will be learning about Bar Graphs, Line Graphs, Circle Graphs, and Stem and Leaf plots (all in Chapter 5 of our textbooks). Hopefully we will have time to start our surveys, which will allow us to create our own graph!
