Parents and students,
We have two full weeks before we begin Spring Break, so let's make them worthwhile!
Upcoming dates of importance:

Social Studies test on chapter 9

Science Test on chapter 11 (weather)
Here is the upcoming week in a nutshell:
MATH
Students will be taking a 'quest' on Tuesday, March 16 covering chapter 19 geometry concepts. Then, we will return to fractions to practice adding and subtracting like and unlike fractions. Are you continuing to practice your math facts?
LANGUAGE ARTS
Spelling - lesson 22 focuses on the prefix -com. The final test will be on Friday, March 19.
In English, our focus will be on adjectives and how to utilize them to improve our writing.
We will continue clarifying using nonfiction text throughout this week with our focus on China. Much of our class time will be spent developing our China Brochures.
I will also be discussing with the students the options they have for the trimester 3 book project.
SOCIAL STUDIES
As I have mentioned, the chapter 9 test is on Tuesday. Students should have been preparing for this test over the course of the week, as we will not have as detailed of a review as we have had in the past. Students are well equipped with detailed notes to insure success.
SCIENCE
Over the weekend, students should be preparing for an open note quiz in Science on lesson 3 by reviewing the notes we have taken in class.
Have a wonderful week! Enjoy the weather!!
