Writing
This week in writing we will continue practicing expository writing by writing to explain why our skeleton is important. We will write our rough draft, revise and edit it and then finish with a published final copy.
Reading and Social Studies
Social studies and reading are connected this week as we learn about South Korea. We will research the flag, political leaders, landmarks, food, and celebrations. We will practice reading non-fiction texts and taking notes.

Please remember to read 100 minutes a week at home. If students read 20 minutes at least 5 days a week, they will reach this goal. Challenge your child to use more than one strategy they’ve learned in class during their at home reading time.
Here is a great reading list for boys that covers many reading levels:

Math
We are moving onto subtraction this week. We will learn several strategies for subtraction 2 digit numbers including drawing a picture, splitting the smaller number, thinking addition with a number line, and the traditional regrouping method. We will play games, search for problems around the room, and solve word problems. Practicing basic math facts at home will make the transition into 2 digit numbers much easier!
In iXL F.9, F.10, H.5, and H.9 would all be great practice!
Science:
We are going to be studying force and motion for the next several weeks. We will start with push and pull and then go on to spin, roll and slide. We will be doing a lot of physical movement to get these concepts down. We will go out to the playground and see if we can decide the types of motion and force we are using when we play.
Some great websites to go to to continue your child’s science experience:

Reminders:
11/5 Field Trip- your child needs a disposable lunch and closed-toed shoes.
