What's up this week....9-6-15

We have a short week coming up, but we are not short on the things that we are going to learn this week!

Spelling: We are going to work on Eye of the Storm words Tuesday, with our test on Wednesday. New words are coming on Friday.

Vocabulary: We are using an online thesaurus to work with our words this week. Our test will be on Friday.  We are adding a section of fill in the blank to our test.  They aren't just matching the words to the definitions.  Each week we'll add a new way to use our words, so the kids don't just memorize the definitions.

Reading: We'll be reading the story Eye of the Storm.  The strategies we're working on are compare and contrast, primary and secondary sources, chronological order, and story climax.

Language: We'll be finishing subject and predicate.  There is a short quiz on Monday over this topic.  Wanna study up, follow this link.  http://www.cccs.k12.in.us/userfiles/10/Subject%20and%20Predicate.swf
Our next language topic (beginning Wednesday) will be the four types of sentences.
