I hope everyone is enjoying their time off and will be well rested when we return on Monday.
Reminder: There is NO SCHOOL on Tuesday, April 5
Here is our upcoming week in a nutshell:
Math
The students and I will review the lessons we covered last week in chapter 17 (lessons 1 on patterns and lesson 2 on geometric patterns) before learning lesson 3 on number patterns. We will then be ready to take the chapter 17 test on Wednesday, April 6. Please remember, the x12 multiplication test is on Friday, April 8. We will then begin mixed reviews which include all of the numbers. Students have also received division packets which they have hopefully started looking at. We will begin testing division facts on Wednesday, April 20 with 2's.
Reading
This week will allow us to study Tomie DePaola in depth through several of his stories. We will continue using all of the reading strategies we have learned throughout the year as we focus on comparing and contrasting, making connections and using our metacognition.
Spelling
Lesson 20 focuses on words with the vowel sound in bought. The final test and all homework is due on Friday.
English
We are going to begin pronouns this week and finish up our Open House projects.
Social Studies
Our study of Chicago continues this week as we write our own Chicago Fire stories, decorate our own "Cows on Parade" and discuss immigration.
I look forward to seeing all of my students on Monday! Enjoy the rest of your break!
