We are in the final stretch...
Language Arts: Reading-This week our story is the Time for Kids article which is very short. Therefore, we will not have a weekly homework packet. Instead, the students were grouped by tables and they discussed the questions together to formulate an answer for their question. We tried this last week, and I thought that it really helped those students who struggle to create a detailed answer.
Spelling-We will have a spelling test on Friday. I know that this week will be very busy for everyone, but please study spelling a little each night. The students are also expected to know the definitions of their high- lighted words. They will write detailed sentences with them on Friday.
Grammar- We discussed helping verbs and main verbs today. This will be the skill that is tested on Friday.
Writing- We found some time to squeeze in two chapters in our read aloud and time to write with our writing partner. So far, the stories are coming together nicely. They should be completed by the end of the week.
Homework:
***None-Just read!

Math: Today in math we reviewed inequalities, pan balances, fractions, order of operations, and fractions in preparation for our Unit 6 test on Wednesday. We will work on a practice test tomorrow which will look a lot like the actual test. This will be a great way to review for the test.
Homework:
***None

Social Studies: On Friday of last week, we pretended we were divers and dove to the bottom of a sunken ship to recover artifacts and natural objects that were left by explorers. We discussed why each item may have been used. We also read and discussed lessons 4.3-4.10.
Homework:
***None
Until tomorrow...
