Here is our upcoming week in a nutshell:MATH
This week, our class is going to continue studying the Metric units of measurement. We are going to choose a unit (21.5) and explore Celsius temperature (21.6). I plan to review on Wednesday, 2/1 and test on Thursday 2/2.
READING
There is a vocabulary test on Seal Surfer words on Monday, 1/30. We are also going to practice writing an extended response for this selection. Then, we are going to do a lot of reviewing. The concepts we are going to review are: main idea and details, genre, and synonyms. Then we are going to pay tribute to Black History Month (February) by reading a biography on an African American and making a photo album displaying four major events in that person's life. This is the "Snapshots of African American History" project we will be working on. The projects will be due on Monday, 2/6. I am going to give students class time on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to work on these.
ENGLISH
Our Verb test is on Wednesday, 2/1. On Friday, students will take a quiz on the daily oral language (DOL) concepts we have been covering (book titles and introductory words).
SPELLING
The pretest on lesson 15 words is on Monday, 1/30. All homework (WB 10 & 11 in volume 2 OR 2 challenge activities) + the cursive sheet is due on Friday when we take our final test.
SCIENCE/SOCIAL STUDIES
We will soon be wrapping up chapter 9 on weather - the test is on Wednesday, 2/8. Therefore, our class will begin the Chicago unit in Social Studies this week.
I hope you have a wonderful week!
