Literacy: Tomorrow, students will take the Main Idea, Details, and Summarizing unit assessment. Also, tomorrow, students will be starting their first round of
literature circles this year! They will read a National Geographic
non-fiction book of their choice. The book will be split into sections
and each day students will be expected to read the next section in the book.
Then, they will meet with their small group to talk about the reading and
practice discussion skills. Students will use skills they've learned in
the main idea and summarizing unit. In writing, we will
continue to practice essay writing and this week, we will begin using a
text to support our thinking.
Math:
Students
will take the Unit 2 assessment on Thursday. The Unit 2 study guide was
distributed today and we will review it in class tomorrow (Tuesday). Unit 2 SMJ
pages and the Home Link packet are due tomorrow (Tuesday). On Friday, students
will take the Unit 3 pre-test and we will begin the new unit next Monday.
Unit 3 focuses on fractions and decimals. Students will learn to compare
and order decimals in this unit.
Science: We will will wrap up our unit on electricity and magnetism this week. We will briefly explore electromagnetism and then, students will take a final assessment. Notebooks and text books may be used on the final assessment. Instructions and expectations for the Quarter 2 Project went home last week. Please be on the look out and ask your child to see them if you haven’t seen them already!
