January 23rd - January 27th Peek at the Week

DATES TO NOTE:
Monday-No School
Tuesday-No TFK This week! New Historical Fiction Units


GLOW Units
We have begun working on GLOW. This is an acronym for Greek and Latin Origin Words. Students will have activities to do with each unit. The point of this is to help children understand how knowing word parts can help with the words overall meaning. The units will alternate with Word Study and so will quizzes.
Reading News
We are beginning our historical fiction genre study this week. Students will be given new novels to read and work to accompany it.
Math Update
We will be using this week to focus on linear measurement. Please use any opportunity at home to have children use rulers, tape measures, and yard sticks.

Social Studies News
Jamestown begins!! This is an intense unit, but the students really learn a great deal!
