Hello families! I hope everyone had a restful break and you are enjoying the sunshine today! 🙂 This week we will be visiting the Detroit Orchestra. If you did not turn in the green permission slip please send it to school on Monday or ask the office for another one. WIDA testing will also begin this week. Please remind students to take their time and show what they know. Here is our focus for the week:

Reading: We will be practicing how to recount stories and determine the central message.

Writing: We will continue to create our drafts for our informational books.

Math: We are learning to solve two-step word problems using the four operations.

Science: We will identify the impact of weather related hazards by listing causes and effects of wildfires.

Social Studies: We will begin our next unit on the History of Michigan and examine how Native Americans and settlers adapted their environments.

We will be taking our economy test tomorrow. We went over the correct answers for the study guide today in class. I have attached them here.

Unfortunately our field trip to Lansing was cancelled due to a power outage. Mr. Awada and Mrs. Abdulla worked their magic and we were still able to go on a field trip. Instead of Lansing, we went to the Michigan Science Center in Detroit. The students had so much fun.
