Our first week of the new year was great! The matter matters presentation we had was a huge success! Some of the pictures are priceless.
**Please remember there is no school on Monday, January 16 in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday.
**Our class will be taking the reading MAP test on Wednesday. Please encourage your child to get a lot of rest and eat a healthy breakfast. If possible, stress to your child how important it is to read through the test carefully.
Here is our upcoming week in a nutshell:
MATH
Students will be taking a review test on all of the facts this Monday, 1/9. Please look for a note I'm sending home indicating which facts your child still has not passed. This week, we will continue our study of customary measurement. The test date is TBD - I will indicate the test date in the student's planners.
READING
We will continue using the strategies we've been learning throughout the year, including compare/contrast, fact/opinion, and summarizing. We will write an extended response for the current story we are reading Night of the Puffins and take a test on this selection on Tuesday, 1/10. This test will NOT be open book. I encourage students to take the reading book home to reread the story.
ENGLISH
Students will begin their study of verbs this week. The pretest is on Monday. In addition, they will begin writing their autobiographies.
SPELLING
The lesson 12 pretest is on Monday. Homework (WB 222-223 and cursive worksheet) is due on Friday when we have the final test.
SCIENCE
We are going to start lesson 2 of the water cycle this week.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Our focus is on Science this week.
I hope you have a wonderful week!
