Memory
Work for Friday, September

The Second
Commandment - You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your
God. What does this
mean? We should fear and love God so that we do
not curse, swear, use satanic arts, lie, or deceive by His name,
but call upon it in every trouble, pray, praise, and give
thanks.
Social
Studies:
States and Capitals Quiz 4 on
Friday, September
24th
Reading:
We will continue
reading Crenshaw this week. We will also be working
with some new strategies that focus around determining character
traits.
English:
We will continue
the launch of our Writer's Workshop this week, as well as continue
to work with our Grammar focus sentence this week.
Vocab:
We will begin week 1 of
Unit 2 this week. Each unit will last two weeks long. This
week, Match the Meaning (pg. 20), Synonyms and
Antonyms (pg. 21), and Completing the Sentence (pg. 22) will be due
on Thursday. The Unit 2 test will be on Friday October 1st. Unit
words can be found on Google Classroom.
Math:
Lessons 7-10:
Next week, we should complete most if not all of our first unit in
math. We will cover naming positions or order and spend some time
reviewing subtraction (with up to
three digit numbers) with and without regrouping, and also
make organized
lists as a strategy for listing all possibilities. We will also review fact
families and use them to find missing addends. We will end the week
working on writing & solving simple equations given a math
problem in context (a.k.a. "word problem"). I expect to have a couple
of checkpoints (short mini quizzes to assess student mastery
of a topic) during the week. We will take our first unit test
early the following week. I will send an email when we get
closer. As always, you can keep up with our day to day assignments
and any changes to this schedule at

Science:
This week,
we will learn about the different ways that
scientists learn about the natural world. We will learn when
each type of investigation is a good option and practice making
those decisions. The week will continue as we look at the
necessary steps in an investigation that would allow our
research to be accepted by other scientists. We will also practice
applying those steps to real-world investigations that we read
about (and later this year, that we will execute in our own
investigations). We will end the week reading information from
provided data displays and also making a decision on which data
display may be the best option for our scientific
research. Depending on our pace, we
may take
our first unit
test late in the week. I will send an email when we get
closer. As always, you can keep up with
our day to day assignments and any changes to this schedule
