Class Agenda:
Reading – This week we will focus on cause and effect in fiction books. Students are
continuing to work on their story wheel project. Books should be completed as soon as
possible (they may take them home now if they are not complete). All projects will be
due next Friday, the 18th.
Writing – This week we are writing a persuasive letter to King James! We are informing him of
the awful Jamestown living conditions and persuading him to send more supplies.
Math –Students are continuing to review multiplication and there will be a multiplication test
this Wednesday. We will also be working on patterns.
Virginia Studies – Students are continuing the study of Jamestown and there is a possible
test this Friday.
