This week in Reading we are working on Drawing conclusions. They will learn to use the information they get from books, paintings, or others' body language to draw a conclusion.
In writing, they will be drafting a persuasive writing piece. Miss Ussary's class will be writing about their favorite food while Mrs. Kountz's class writes movie reviews. We will integrate what we know about persuasive writing with our knowledge of paragraph writing. Final drafts will be finished on Thursday.
In spelling this week, we will review today and take a test tomorrow over the unit 11 word list. After that, we will take a break from spelling until further notice. This will allow us to get caught up in other subject areas.
In math this week we will finish up our unit on measurement. We have discussed the metric system, customary system and time. Our last few lessons will focus on measuring rectangles with area and perimeter. Our math test will be on Friday. That is all we will be doing on Friday, since it is a half day and we have our Friendship parties starting at 9:30.
In Social Studies, we are wrapping up this unit today with a review and some games. Tomorrow we will take an OPEN BOOK test. They will be required to write down where they found each answer. They will be able to use their books as well as their packets.
On Wednesday we will start a new science unit on Electricity. We will study Static electricity and Electic Currents this week.

5 AR points are due Friday
