Reading:
Compare and contrast is
our skill for this week.
When writers compare and
contrast things, they tell
how those things are alike
or different. Words such as
same, also, before, although, and however are
clues that things are being
compared or contrasted.
Social Studies: Ancient
Civilizations
We are working on our
third chapter in Social
Studies this week. We
will discuss why immigrants would leave there
homelands, the consequences of colonization
(both good and bad), and
the differing viewpoints
of the Native Americans
and Europeans.
C o n t e n t
Language Arts: Review
This week we will be working on possessive nouns. A
possessive noun shows
ownership. Possessive
nouns can be either singular or plural. Singular nouns
form singular possessives.
For example: shoe/shoe’s,
Ron/Ron’s. Plural nouns
form plural possessives. For
example: women/women’s,
girls/girls’. To form a noun’s
possessive form, you usually add -’s to it. If the noun is
a plural noun that ends in s,
add only an apostrophe. For
example: table/ table’s,
bus/bus’s, men/
men’s, toes/
toes’
Math:
Your student is learning to
fluently multiply multi-digit
whole numbers using the
standard algorithm. He or
she will learn to explain
patterns in the number of
zeroes of the product when
multiplying a number by
powers of 10. Your student
will also apply his or her
understanding of place value to estimate products.
This topic also uses money
as a real-world context to
connect mathematics to
problems arising in everyday life. Watch assignment
book for test date.
Science Fair:
The science fair will beheld November 17th. Please make sure that your projects
are finished and ready to be presented in class on Monday, November 14th.
