Monday FreeRangers
If you need a book report card, just ask in class! These are much larger than typical index cards so they fit in the plastic sleeves in our class book review folder. (They are 5" x 8")
REMINDER-- There will be NO CLASS the week of October 8th-12th!

Language Arts
- Read chapters 10-14 in Northern Lights.
- When you learn about a plant, animal, place/landform, add it to your (GREEN) Field Guide! You have three sections that we created. You can make notes, glue down or draw pictures, write explanations or definitions.... whatever you'd like! We will continue to share these in class and add to them as we learn more! (Make sure to add things to your Canada page!) Use websites, books, or encyclopedias to learn more about the things that pop up in the book! I LOVED hearing all about things you found in last week's reading!
- ★Complete the vocabulary sheet for chapters 10-14 Use this as practice looking up words in the dictionary! (Don't worry about writing all of the words in the definition! Find the meaning that our author is using in the book and just write it in your own words.)
- They did a GREAT JOB with the vocabulary review that we did in class!
- Here is a link for a Quizlet set based on these words. Use the flashcards or games to help practice the vocabulary words!
Grammar
- We talked about NOUNS again in class. A noun is a word that is a person, place, thing, or idea. I will leave the noun games up this week, just in case you didn't have time to play them last week.
- In class, we learned about nouns that we can touch, see, hear, smell, or taste (people, places, and things). These are called CONCRETE nouns. We also learned that some nouns cannot be seen, felt, heard, etc. These IDEA nouns are also called ABSTRACT nouns.
- In class next week, we will be talking about common and proper nouns. Check out this video to learn about common, proper, abstract, and concrete nouns!
- Make sure not to lose your grammar card! We will be adding more to your ring throughout the year.
- Here is a game to help you practice identifying nouns!
- Try this one! Pop the bubbles for each noun. (Choose "Identify the Nouns in the Sentence" to begin!)
Geography
Great job with the continents!!! We're now going to focus on North America. Please show your parents the map coloring that we worked on in class. Show them the map KEY and talk about the countries in North America. (Do you remember why some people consider Greenland part of Europe and some consider in part of North America? We will be using geographical location in our continent study this year instead of political or cultural similarities.)
- Click here and practice your continents and oceans! Drag the pieces to the correct spot on the map.
- Read both sides of the North America sheet in your yellow folder. Read carefully!
- Come up with 2 questions about the information on the two sheets. Write down each question on an index card, and write the answers on the back. We are going to play a game in class!
Science
- In your black science notebook, please finish coloring & decorating the title page (if you want to!).
- Next, turn to the page with the little Classification Flip Book. Choose ONE word from the top page and use it to complete the second page.
- Next, make up an imaginary animal! Draw a picture and describe this animal. Does it have fur? scales? How many legs does it have? Tell about where it lives and what it eats. The more detail the better! (Those of you who already starting coming up with your animal can add these details and more! We will be doing a Classification activity with them in class, and details will help!)
