English: We will have our UNIT 1-"The Sentence" TEST on Thursday, Oct. 12th!
After that, we will begin a unit on Capitalization and Punctuation. We will begin with a focus on capitalizing names of people and pets along with correcting run-on sentences.
Spelling: Unit 7 - "Suffixes "-ness", "-less", and "-en"
This week's spelling/vocabulary list will include words with the suffixes -ness, -less, and-en. We will study the definitions of these suffixes and how to determine the meaning of unknown words by breaking the words into base words and suffixes and by using context clues. The final test is scheduled for Friday, 10/13.
Science: We will begin a unit in Life Science. We will learn that animals are grouped into different categories. We will also read and learn which animals are vertebrates and which animals are invertebrates,
Mrs. Spakausky's Math Class: In math this week we will begin Module 4 in Unit One. This module provides hands-on experience with measurement as students explore linear measurement, mass, weight, and liquid volume. They will review the definitions and units of measure for each category.
