Unit 2 Week 4 Preview

Continuing our exploration of families and neighbors, we ask the question: what is a home? Our oral vocabulary words are collapse, company, construct, entire, and material. Our high-frequency focus words are again, could, make, one, then, three. For spelling we will focus on short-vowel 'u'. Our grammar rule will be proper nouns and capitalization.

For discussion: What constitutes a home? (A family or dweller, the building materials, and the neighborhood or community.)

Every year Room 11 has the tradition of electing a class president. This supports the government portion of our Social Science standards. Those students interested in running for Room 11 Class President 2013-14 will work on a speech at home to be delivered to the class. Due to our busy schedule and other reasons, we will postpone our class president speeches until November 12. Voting will take place on the following Wednesday. Credit for that At-Home Project will count towards the second reporting period.
