Week of October 01, 2018

Writing

As we continue with narrative writing, we are focusing on leads and elaborating on important parts of our stories. We will focus on slowing down the action, telling it bit-by-bit, adding dialogue, giving more details, showing small actions and adding internal thinking.

Science

We will develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact.

Math

We will begin Unit 2 this week, starting off with recognizing that in any multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.

Reading

We will continue with informational text, mainly science texts and be able to determine two or more main ideas of a text and explain how they are supported by key details. We will summarize the text. Additionally, we will use the information read to support our science project in the form of creating brochures, posters, infographics and digital presentations.
