Announcements:
Thanksgiving break will be November 19 - November 23.
Timothy Road will be hosting clusters for all students starting in January. See the message below from Kisha Bailey and consider leading a cluster for students!
You are invited to join the Local School Governance Team and teachers of Timothy Road Elementary School as we implement EPIC Clusters. EPIC is the Emotional Prosperity in Children.
Please join us in leading a small group of children in an interest/hobby that you share. We will match students to your group, and a classroom teacher will accompany and assist you. We will also purchase all materials needed for your cluster. The clusters will meet on Fridays from January 11 through March 1 for one hour.
If you are interested in leading an EPIC Cluster, please complete this brief interest survey. https://goo.gl/forms/j5Sh5r4eqUvnGSz72
Thank you for your interest in our project!
With EPIC appreciation,
Kisha Bailey
Reading: This week in reading, students are determining the meanings of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including those that allude to significant characters found in mythology. We are also working on the reading strategy, "Steps to determining importance". Click here to see an example!
Math:
Monday: Unit 3 Pre-Test on area and perimeter
This week in math, students will begin learning about area and perimeter. Students will learn how to find area and perimeter using mathematical formulas within real world problems.
Grammar: This week in grammar, students will be working on using reference materials to determine the meaning of unknown words. Students will practice this with dictionaries, thesauruses, and textbooks. Writing: This week in writing, students will finish up the final drafts of their opinion pieces. They will then begin learning about how to transform an opinion writing into a persuasive piece of writing.
