First quarter is ending soon!

Social Studies Geography is what we have been working on this month! There is a test that the county has made for our students to take. In order to review for that test, I am sending home a study guide.

Here is a link of the Social Studies Book to review Unit 4:

In other news, we will begin the Reading EOQ Friday October 21 and will continue reading Monday October 24 and Math Calculator Active Tuesday October 25 and Math Calculator Inactive Wednesday October 26.

For reading, we have been working on numerous reading concepts such as; main idea and details, cause and effect, context clues, Genre, sequencing and drawing conclusions!

We have been working on the RUNNERS reading strategy to use when reading passages.

R- Read the title and make a prediction
U- Underline keywords in the questions
N- Notice (number) the paragraphs
N- Now read the passage
E- Enclose (circle) keywords in the passage
R- Reread the passage
S- Select the best answer


Thanks for your continued support!
