This week we will be finishing up our math unit on Fractions. Our test is scheduled for this Thursday. We will use Wednesday's class time to review and prepare for the test together. The test focuses on adding/subtracting fractions as well as converting fractions into mixed numbers or mixed numbers to fractions.
In social studies this week, we will begin discussing plantation life/slavery as well as Missouri's part in the Civil War. We will complete a study guide together for Chapter 5, read and discuss chapter 6, as well as watch a couple videos about these chapters. This open book test is tentatively planned for Thursday, March 12.
We are returning to spelling this week. We will hand out our word list today and begin studying those words. In this unit, we will also review homophones, "c" spelling patterns, and create mnemonics for tricky words. This test is tentatively scheduled for next Tuesday, March 10th.
In reading this week we will begin studying sequencing. We will use our knowledge of sequencing to place events in order, follow recipes, and other sequencing activities. Also, Friday is Read in Day. They can bring blankets/sleeping bag, pillows and wear comfy clothes. AR points for this quarter are due next Thursday, March 12th.
In writing this week we will continue learning how to do research. We will practice this by beginning to research famous Missourians in preparation for writing a paper on one.
Have a great week!
