November has come and is leaving quickly. As we approach December, we are preparing for new book groups beginning this Monday, November 28th. Many new choices of literature circles will be available as the students will give their input on their top three choices. Groups will then be formed and reading will begin! All groups will continue to participate in teacher led reading skill lessons that intertwine within their book sets. Our skills include, but not limited to, the use of author's purpose, fact and opinion statements, compare and contrast, as well as continuing to identify conflict and climax. Ask your student what he/she is reading.
In math class, we are continuing to review converting fractions to decimals to percents - going back and forth between these three forms. We have been working on conversion within the metrics system - ask your child about King Hector. Currently we are reviewing perimeter and area of rectangles and will spend this week in calculating perimeter and area of triangles and understanding their relationships to rectangles.
