Literacy/Social Studies        

 

  • Grammar- We are working on adding the suffixes  -s, -es, -ed, and -ing to nouns.  Students have a study guide for a test on Monday, Dec. 13. They must be able to tell what each suffix means and write words correctly using each suffix.    
  • Reading- We will continue to work on our main focus of context clues.  We will also be researching and completing activities on Christmas festivities from around the world.  
  • Spelling/Phonics- Pretest given Monday.  This week’s words are homographs.  Students should have these words behind their spelling tab in their binders.  Students should study these words nightly.  

Math

  • Students will be adding fractions with unlike denominators

  • Students will have a test Friday on  adding fractions.

A study guide will come home on Thursday.

  • Students will bring  home a math family letter that has  examples of what we are learning, weekly.

  • Homework: Study multiplication facts every evening.  Your child knows which facts they are working on. Use computer games, flash cards, or have them write and say the facts.
