Good Afternoon Haigh Families!
This week we will be working on our date and graphs unit in math. We will also touch on perimeter and some geometry terms in order to prepare for state testing.
In ELA we will be working on completing our extended response about Mary Leakey.We worked on these last week and the students are all doing very well. I am impressed at how many improvements I am seeing in their writing ability. We will also be reading a nonfiction article and a few poems, working our way through all types of genres to prepare for state testing. We will also be completing some more of our geography slides as we learn about the bodies of water in Michigan.
Reminders for the week:
- If your child is fasting, please sign and return the permission slip that was sent home last week
- Extended day begins this week if your child was invited. Please be sure to sign the permission slip if you have not already done so in order for your child to participate.
- Please be sure your child brings ALL materials to class. I have had several that have forgotten their materials. Having ALL math books, their reading book, and a fully charged chrome book to school every day is important
- We will begin M-Step testing next week (April 26th) Students will work on reading next week and math the following week. Please discuss with them the importance of taking their time to “Show what they know.” Please click here for further information about this test
- Please check in with your child and ask them if they have submitted ALL assignments on Schoology and on Readworks. I have had several that are getting Spring Fever” and forgetting to submit. 🙂
- Please be sure your child comes to school with a jacket, many were freezing last week at recess ….and I hear the weather’s going to surprise us with snow later in the week 🙁
- Please head on over to Schoology under updates to access the weekly assignment sheet 🙂
Looking forward to another great week at Haigh! I just love seeing your children in person again:)
