WEEK OF AUGUST 29th-SEPTEMBER 2nd

In reading our class is continuing our unit of study on the forces of nature by reading, "Eye of the Storm" about Warren Faidley, a storm chasing photographer. Our reading skill focus is "text organization". We watched a brief documentary on youtube to learn about this amazing photographer.

This week in writing we will be learning how to use a timeline planner and a "small moment" focus to enhance our content when doing narratives. 
A Small Moment is:
1. True/Happened to you.
2. Strong Emotion
3. "BTH" Big Thing that Happened
We learn that good writers are able to keep the main thing the main thing! 

In History we will continue our unit of study on Explorers.

In Bridges Math we will be continuing to work with expressions/equations and multiplication. 

See you on Tuesday night for Back to School Night from 7:15-8pm!
