Good Morning,

We have a busy week ahead. The students did great on their animal adaptation papers and presentations. Grades will be coming home for those this week. Wednesday is our annual portfolio review day where the students will be in lunch room to go through all of their writing with you. I hope you can make it. The 4th grade safeties will begin training this week with the 5th graders.

Our week is as follows:

Spelling: We are looking at the chunks “audi” and “anti”. Our words are: auditorium, antibodies, antiseptic, audiovisual, antidote, comparison, calibrate, displacement, separation, balances.

Math: We are working on pre-algebra and coordinate plane problem solving for the next few weeks.

Writing- We are starting a genre study on science fiction and each student will be writing their own science fiction piece.

Reading- We are still working on vocabulary acquisition and usage. We also will start looking at Science Fiction books. Their book clubs will continue to meet and work on their own strategies.

Science- Our study of the human body continues as we start looking at the skeletal system and all it does for us.

Camp is next week so make sure you let us know if you have any questions while you start to pack up your student’s things.

Garden Club will meet tomorrow unless it is raining. If it is raining in the morning, the ground has been too muddy to work and will not meet.

Have a great day!
