October 6th - October 10th

 “Respect is a two-way street, if you want to get it, you’ve got to give it.” – R.G. Risch

In Writing Workshop, we will continue with our first unit of study called 'personal narrative'. Students will learn to ‘show not tell’ the readers about how they are feeling. One way they do this is by describing in detail:

·     Every action 

·     Every emotion 

·     Every feeling 

In Reading workshop students will learn the following:

· How characters respond to an event or problem/ challenge?

· Compare 2 characters and how they react to the same event

· What would I do if I was in the character's place?

In Math students will be work on:

·     Pan balance

·     Subtraction word problems

·     Counting up strategies for subtraction

In STEM students build a tower using a variety of solid objects. They will draw and label the tower in their STEM journals. Students will be assessed on their understanding of solid and properties of solid.

In our Social Studies unit of ‘Time, Continuity and Change’ students will compare the present-day school to the ones in the old days.
