I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Hopefully some of the nice weather we had on Saturday returns. We are moving ahead in all subjects. Before I talk about our plan for the week, I wanted to send a reminder that there is a STEM Middle School information meeting scheduled for March 8 at 7 p.m. at the Michael Berry Center. We also have our school picture day this Wednesday. Picture Day order forms went home on Friday.

This week:

Spelling: We are looking at multisyllabic words ending with the ‘ant’ chunk. Our words are assistant, brilliant, extravagant, ignorant, significant, formula, coordinate, organism, inherited, acquired.

Math: We are finishing up our unit which is a refresher on line plots and using parentheses in number sentences. We will be having a review and unit test towards the end of the week.

Science: We are working on our unit on heredity and animal adaption. The students are really enjoying the unit so be sure to ask them about inherited and acquired traits!

Writing: We are finishing our publishing of mysteries. We will be starting a narrative from the point of view of the students when they are 100 years old.

Reading/Daily 5: Many of our book clubs are finishing their books sometime this week. The next books in their rotations will be informational text. We are going to focus on comprehension and summarizing of informational text.

Have a great week!
