Week of May 2, 2011

The sun must love my blogging days because it made another appearance! Second week in a row! Sure is good to feel that sun...




Here is our week in a nutshell:


MATH

Our divided by 4 test is on Friday, May 6. Throughout this week, we are going to continue practicing dividing. We will test on division on Thursday, May 5. Your child has a packet of the material they will be tested on in their math folders.


READING

The magic continues in my reading class as students choose and practice their tricks this weekend. By Tuesday, they need to confirm which trick they are going to do with confidence. The Magic Show is scheduled for Friday, May 6 at 8:20. I am looking forward to seeing you there! Let me know if you plan to come so I have chairs set up for you. *Reading classes will not meet on Monday due to MAP testing*


SPELLING

Our lesson 23 pretest will be on Tuesday and all homework will be due on Friday.


ENGLISH

Students just finished up our pronoun unit and will be moving on to expository writing. I am very excited to start this unit with such a great group of writers! We will discuss introductory hooks, transitions, and effective closings in addition to detailed body paragraphs.


SOCIAL STUDIES

Students will take the chapter 9 lesson 2 open book review on Tuesday which covers economic choices and opportunity costs. The chapter test will not be until Wednesday, May 11.


SCIENCE

We are moving on to lesson three which is "Why is energy important?" The lesson 3 open book review will be Friday, May 6.


I hope the sun continues to shine and you have a wonderful weekend!
