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

Thanks for your continued support!

October...Brrr!!!
Why hello cold weather!
The book fair is this week. Our class will be going Friday, October 7.
$6.50 is still needed from some of you for the Scholastic Science Magazines.
Later this month, our students will be taking the first quarter EOQ. The dates are October 24-26.
To get our students prepared, please continue to read each night with them and ask focus questions during reading such as:
Who are the characters?
What is the setting?
What are the main events?
What is the problem/solution (if any)?
What is the main idea?
What is author’s purpose?
For math, it is crucial that our students check their work and are adding and subtracting correctly. Also remind them to use the calculator that will be provided to them on the Calculator Active day. We have worked on rounding, addition properties, place value and modeling numbers (base 10 blocks). We should also know standard form: 45, expanded form: 40+5 and word form: forty-five.
During that week, make sure our students get a full nights rest and have a great breakfast!
Important dates/reminders:
Morning Tutoring starts Monday, October 24 for Reading and Math on Wednesdays.
No school for students October 28 and October 31.
Thank you for your continued support.
