Busy Week Ahead

Now that testing is over, I can use the results to differentiate my teaching and their learning so we are ready to hit the ground running hard. We will be starting Lead 21 this week doing both large & small group reading and skill work. This week are skills are going to be Determining Importance (main idea/details) as we read along with Author's Purpose. In Language, we are doing subject/predicate and parts of speech. In Math, we will continue to review rounding & decimals and now heading into counting money and making change. Social Studies is taking us to the end of our map skill unit. This week we will focus on reading different types of topographical maps and doing some geography challenges with partners. Science has us moving along studying hurricanes. Not a lot of activity out there with hurricanes this season which is good for those that live in areas subjected to hurricanes. We will finish up our character warriors with RESPECT on Tuesday and then we are off making our shields. After that, students will be expected to follow the pillars of good character as they make good vs. poor choices in 4th grade. They are going to become Mrs. Hankins' Character Warriors and strong leaders in our school. We will have Spelling once again this week so Unit 3 words will be coming home on Monday.
