This week in reading we will be talking about monitoring comprehension of a text by asking and answering questions. We will also be working on answering extended response questions using the CER method to help us formulate strong responses. In writing students will create another realistic fiction paper on their own topic and ideas. They will practice including figurative language and strong descriptions into their plot.
In math we will continue to explore area and perimeter. This week we will look at finding the area and perimeter of irregular shapes. We will have our mid-module math assessment on Tuesday. The study guide will come home tomorrow.
We will continue to learn about the growth of Michigan in social studies.
Students will be finishing up their NWEA science test this week. Your child should be sharing their scores with you when they finish a test by recording their scores in their daily planner.
Stay warm this week 🙂
