At the beginning of each week, you will be able to see what we are studying and any important class news or events on my blog. If you have not done so, please subscribe to my blog.
We begin this week with NWEA Testing. We will be doing Reading on Wednesday and Math on Thursday (as of now). We will also begin our DRA Assessment, which tests fluency and comprehension.
Spelling – students will be able to find the class spelling list each week on Spelling City.
Reading – we will continue with Daily 5. Our lessons will be centered around identifying key ideas and themes, as well as reading to understand delving deeper into the meaning of the text.
Grammar – parts of speech
Writing – personal narratives
Math – place value and patterns; a parent tip sheet and note describing this new program will be coming home this week.
Science – structures & properties of matter mixtures
SS – government (most of this will be a review from 4th grade)
Leader in Me – we continue to review and implement the 7 Habits and incorporate them into everything we do.
