Notes for the week...
** This Friday, October 26, is our annual U.N. Day with games and activities from around the world. Students will be dismissed early at 11:45.** Next Friday, November 2, we will hold our Internal Language Arts Competitions including Speech and Spelling in both English and Spanish. Students are working on and practicing their speeches in class and will be competing to move on to the ABSH competition held in Tegucigalpa in February. There is no official list for the Spelling Bee competition, but we will be sharing some resources with students this week to help them prepare if they choose.
This week in class...
Language Arts
In Language Arts this week, we will continue to analyze different types of text structures in fiction and nonfiction text. In addition, we will continue to draft, revise, and edit our speeches inspired by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
We will also be practicing irregular verb forms in the past and past perfect tenses. There will be a Language Quiz on Thursday, due to the UN Day activities on Friday.
Math
This week in Math class we will be learning about equations and applying our understanding of the basic operations; addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Students, please be sure to watch the second video as your homework for class and watch the first video up to the 5:00 min mark if you need to review what an equation is.
Homework:
Social Studies
This week in Social Studies class we will be starting a new unit on Ancient Egypt! This week we will watch some videos and read several texts to learn about how ancient Egyptians harnessed the power of the Nile River and also what life was like for both wealthy and normal Egyptians. The students will create their own maps and draw scenes and objects from the everyday life of ancient Egyptians. We will have several class discussions as well.
Thank you for all of your support, parents! Please feel free to email us if you have any
questions.
Ms. Amy and Mr. Andrew
