4/13-4/17

This week, we will wrap up our last spelling unit. We will have our test on Tuesday, the 14th. Then we will use our spelling time to focus on MAP test prep. We have begun looking at test taking tips and vocabulary. We will continue doing this as testing approaches at the end of this month.

In reading this week, we will be reading different types of Drama. We will be learning how to comprehend dramas and how they are different from other types of texts we have had experience with this year.

In writing, we will be studying writing structure and the writing process from planning our writing to polishing it. We will then use this information to practice answering MAP like questions.

In math this week, we will use what we learned last week to help us name triangles and quadrilaterals. We will also learn to compose and decompose angles and identify parallel and perpendicular lines and line segments. The test for this math unit is schedule for next Thursday, April 23rd.

You should have received a note home last Friday about our upcoming science fair. We will being prep on our science fair projects today. We will begin by going over the scientific method and then guiding them through this method in their groups for their own projects. The projects will be done at school and no materials will need to be purchased by you. Science Fair is May 12th. We are so anxious to get started!

Have a great week!
