ELA

In ELA this week we will begin Journeys Unit 3 Lesson 11. The anchor text for this week will be the humorous fiction story, Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type. With this text students will strengthen their comprehension skills by learning how to “draw conclusions” and “summarize”. Our spelling and phonics lessons for the week will focus on base words with endings -s and -es. In grammar, students will learn to identify and create compound sentences. Our writing lessons will focus on writing a summary. This Friday, students will take a spelling test. Our other ELA tests for this lesson will be next week.

We will complete Chapter 6, which is an introductory “Measurement” unit. Students will answer the essential question: “How can you use standard units of measurement to solve problems?” This week students will solve measurement word problems, as well as using number lines to add and subtract. Students will be assessed on their understanding of  Chapter 6 next week.
