Monday FreeRangers
We drew names in class for a Secret Santa gift exchange! The names are inside your child's folder. (Limit- $10!) We'll exchange gifts on 12/10!
Farm Fusion Journal Assignment
- How was your Thanksgiving? Tell us all about it! You can write it in story form or use acrostic poem sheet that is in your folder.
Language Arts
- Talk about linking verbs! They can be a bit tricky. They connect nouns or pronouns with either an adjective or another noun/pronoun. The list for linking verbs is the SAME as the list for state of being verbs, but they are used differently.
- Examples- I am Bradley. The cows were tired. (Both LINKING)
- I am home. The cows were there. (Both STATE OF BEING)
- ★If you think your child needs more practice recognizing action verbs and linking verbs, you can use this sheet to review.
- Read chapters 6-9 in Mystery in the Amazon Rainforest.
- Here is a link to the new vocabulary list. We do activities and review of these words in class, but it really only works if the kids study them at home during the week. (Parents, if you prefer to have the kids look up the words, here is the list!)
- captivated
- humidity
- liana
- nocturnal
- shaman
- Here is the Quizlet page to help you study and practice! (Or, study with parents any way that works!)
- Keep adding to your field guide as you come across cool things in your reading book!
★Diving Deeper (choose one!)
- Research and write about the Incas! Who were they? Where did they live? What was their life like?
- Here's a BrainPOP video and activities to start you off in your quest!
Geography
- Parents, go over the information on South America that is in the folder. We'll be focusing on Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
- Use the coloring map to study the locations of the countries in South America!
- Here is a video to help, as well! See you if you can start pointing out some of the countries on this blank map.
Science
- Look back through your entire science notebook to review.
- We're wrapping up our Bacteria Unit once we return from Thanksgiving Break. Review any material in your science notebook or scan back through BrainPOP to catch up on anything you may have missed!
