Spring break is OVER! That was a quick break, but a week of FUN in the SUN for my family and I. I hope everyone enjoyed their break.
Reminders for the week:
Friday—BINGO for BOOKS 6-7in the cafeteria; $3 per person
Academic Words:
- Export- a good that people in one place send out to people in another place when they trade.
- Prefix- a group of letters added to the BEGINNING of a word to change the meaning.
- Suffix- a group of letters added to the END of a word to change the meaning.
- Convince- To try to get someone to like something by using a good persuasive argument.
- Ecosystem- all of the living things in a given area.
This week in reading we will continue to prep for our upcoming M-Step testing. We will practice passages in our M-step prep folder and focus on understanding what the question is asking us and using strategies that will help us locate the answer back in the text. We will also begin to take a look at poetry since April is celebrated and known as poetry month 🙂
In writing this week we will continue to write an essay from a prompt. Before break we examined pieces that other students have done and graded them based on expectations that M-Step provides. This week we will begin to complete our essay based on the same prompt.
Math continues with fractions as we review and prepare for our unit test. This week we will review and engage in games and small groups to review standards learned before break.
In social studies we will continue to look at Michigan’s economy and how goods are imported and exported from other places.
I am looking forward to seeing my students in the morning. I am also hoping the sun is shining and bringing us some warmer weather 🙂
