September 23-September 27th

I hope that everyone had a wonderful week!

Here is a look at next week's curriculum.

*Math: This week will be our last week of this semester practicing money skills.  Students will be adding multiple prices together, determining change, and even using checkbook skills to "pay bills".

*Reading: We will continue the Genre unit that we began last week.  We will talk specifically about fiction genres and begin reading our first fiction novels of the year by Friday.

*RtI Reading: We will begin our final book in our world culture unit: Breakfast Around the World.  Students will be learning about traditional breakfast foods in seven different areas of the world.  They will also be comparing and contrasting our breakfast traditions with those in other countries.  We will even be sampling a few of these new foods! :)

*Language Arts:  Students will receive a new set of spelling words and choosing a new Read Naturally story for the week.  The goal is both fluency and comprehension with both the text and vocabulary.

*Social Studies: (7/8th Only) We are beginning our mini-unit on Ancient Egypt this week!  We will be learning facts about their culture, architecture, geography, pharaohs, mummies, and additional contributions that still affect our lives today.

Here is a picture of our Ancient Mesopotamian catapult that we recreated in class today!  How fun!
