In honor of Arbor Day last Friday, our class set out to raise money to plant trees in the Amazon. After much hard work, I am proud to announce we raised enough money to plant 60 trees!!!
Important dates to remember (now that I finally have my days straight):
* Culture Day presentations - Monday 5/7, Tuesday 5/8, or Wednesday 5/9.
* MAP math test - Monday 5/7
* Magic Show - Monday 5/14 @ 1:30. If you haven't already, please let me know if you plan to attend.
* Early Dismissal - Friday 5/18
MATH
Students will take a divided by 6 test on Friday, 5/11. The last day to take divided by 5 is on Wednesday, 5/9. Divided by 4 is closed. Currently, we are exploring division in chapter 23. I expect the test to be the week of May 14.
READING
On Monday, students will pick the magic trick they will perform in front of a live audience on the 14th. On Wednesday, there will be a vocabulary test on the magic words. Because of this vocab test, students WILL NOT have a self-selected vocabulary this week.
SPELLING
There is no spelling this week due to all of our tests and presentations :)
ENGLISH
We are going to continue writing our expository papers. There will be a pronoun pretest on Monday, 5/14.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Culture day presentations take place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Originally, I had the chapter 3 test planned for Wednesday but am going to postpone it until Thursday, 5/10.
SCIENCE
We will explore sound in chapter 14 this week. An open book graded review will be on Wednesday, 5/9.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend with your families!
