This week we will begin our M-Step prep in reading by working through articles that we have put together that are similar in format to what student can expect to see on the M-Step. These articles will review many of the skills we have learned this year. As we get closer we will do some online practice as well. In writing we will also begin M-Step writing prep and prepare an essay based on a prompt.
We have just completed our restaurant papers and will prepare to send them out this week. Please send in a stamped envelope with your child this week so we can send their GREAT papers ASAP.
In math we will continue to discuss fractions greater than one and begin to learn strategies to compare fractions.
We just finished up our unit on the growth of Michigan last week and this week we will begin to learn about the economy of Michigan.
In science we just started our new unit on animals through time on Friday. We will continue to explore this idea in the next few weeks.
