This Week's Academic Focus
Reading: Students all have a new individual reading goal that has been recorded in their "reader's notebooks". We will continue meeting weekly in small groups and individual reading conferences. These strategies are intended to be added to their "reading tool kit". The mini-lessons over the next few weeks will be to focus on text structures. For example, compare/contrast, cause/effect, time/order/sequence, description in certain fiction and non-fiction text. We are also including a study on poetry! This week students have started writing Haiku poems.
Writing: Currently, students are finishing their informative essay presentations. Once they finish they are grading it with a writing rubric. They will present to the student(s), and then create a Minecraft presentation based on their event. They will use their research to create a scrip/scenario.
Here is a rough draft example of a finished presentation: Historical Event
Math: We will begin Unit 7: Geometry. I encourage extra practice in IXL Diagnostic and IXL IM in UNIT 7 lessons.

Classroom Snack Information
To help reduce this from happening, we ask that no student brings any products containing peanuts/ may contain peanuts/ or produced on shared equipment that also processes peanuts into the classroom.
In addition, please provide snacks that are unopened with ingredients listed on the back of the package. Many students are bringing clear plastic bags with opened food in them, which leaves room for unsafe snacks to enter the classroom without knowing what is in the food. SNACKS MUST HAVE A LABEL. NO CLEAR BAGGIES.
If a student does bring unsafe food products into the classroom, they will be asked to place them back into their backpacks to return home.
Please click on this peanut-sensitive safe foods list link. We appreciate your support with these procedures.
