Parents, I am so sorry for not posting a few times last week. If there is a night that I do not post and you have a question please call me at 406-582-6840. I worked late every night last week, and forgot to blog!
Today we started a new unit in math focusing on place value. The students should know place value to the ten-thousands and we will introduce tenths, and hundredths this coming unit. It will be a new concept that will take time, decimals can be difficult to grasp.
In science we also started a new unit on the earth. The students will learn what the earth of made of (specific rocks, and the minerals in the rocks), how the surface of the earth is always changing (weathering, erosion, deposition, catastrophic events, etc), and the layers of the earth.
This week your students are doing a writing assignment in first person. They are pretending to be an elf at the north pole and need to describe what their job is and why it is important. Some examples of the jobs we brainstormed together today where the navigation elf, secret service elf, personal assistant elf, etc. The students seemed very excited and had great ideas following about what the jobs where and why they are important.
In small groups this week we will be reading non-fiction texts for the most part. Working on the reading skills of making connections and asking questions that help us better understand the story.
We ended the day with the longer practice for our musical next Tuesday, Dec. 14th.
