ELA-We are going to spend the next few weeks on a novel unit, James and the Giant Peach.  We are excited to be reading and enjoying different activities that connect with the novel.  There will be various vocabulary words and spelling words over the next few weeks.  Here is a brief overview: James' happy life at the English seaside is rudely ended when his parents are killed by a rhinoceros and he goes to live with his two horrid aunts. Daringly saving the life of a spider he comes into possession of magic boiled crocodile tongues, after which an enormous peach starts to grow in the garden.  We will continue
on this voyage together and find out what happens?  Our field trip in March is the play!
 
Spelling-Here are the words for James and the Giant Peach. We will have the 11-20 words this week and take our summative on Friday!
 
11.          centipede
12.          mammoth
13.          television
14.          millionaire
15.          crystal
16.          sponge
17.          brilliant
18.          burrow
19.          forehead
20.          England
 
Math-We will move into Division next!  Please continue to practice what we do each day in class.  Refer back to your notebook or Go Math resource!  The main strategies for division are partial quotient and traditional division!
 
*We have been using this program called XtraMath to increase speed and accuracy in arithmetic here at school.  Students have also been utilizing math prodigy and front row now known as Freckle. From now until the end of the school year, each student will be spending some time at home each day practicing math on a computer, tablet, or phone.  The following morning, I will check in with the information to see the progress being made.  Students will be working Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, and Thursday night!  If a student does not complete their XtraMath that night with the exception of being absent, a TRAILBLAZER letter will be taken.  Thank you for your support.
 
Science-We will begin the next unit on Transfer of Energy in Collision.  Words to be familiar with are: electric current, heat energy, light energy, sound energy, energy, contact, collision, force, energy transfer, and motion.
 
 If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call (815) 469-6993 or email me at jskrobanski@summithill.org.
