Week of March 20-24

Sorry for the late post!

Reminders for this week:

Wednesday–Recycling Assembly

Thursday–Literacy Night 5:00-6:30  and Unit 6 Math Test

Pennies for Pasta collection has begun!

We are learning:

Spelling–Our focus this week is prefixes.  We are learning the meaning of prefixes and identifying root/base words.  Please be sure to practice a little each night.  The words are getting a little harder, so they made need extra practice.

Daily5/CAFE–We are revisiting our individual Learning Plan goals and revising them.  Students are showing great growth.  We are working to improve even more as we work on our reading and writing strategies.  Our strategy focus this week is compare/contrast.  We will be using characters in our books, as well as compare/contrast with different books.

Writer’s Workshop–We are finishing up our public discourse paragraphs this week on the wind turbines in the Great Lakes.  The students are learning a lot about both sides of this issue.  We will be using our research to support our opinion in paragraphs.

Math–We have had lots of fun with Geometry!  We have also been working on some real world multiplication/division number stories using various strategies to solve them.   Unit 6 Math test will be Thursday.  A study guide will be coming home as well.

Science–We took our Sound test and they will be coming home at the end of the week.  We had a few students absent, so there are some makeups.

Social Studies–We are beginning our unit on Government.

Have a great week!  Spring is supposed to be here!
