It is hard to believe we are heading into the last month of school. We have a busy month ahead of us and lots to keep track of as we finish the year, so please keep reading the blog and adding important dates to your calendar!
Math:Last week we reviewed volume and conversions and the students took the Unit 8 Test. This was not an easy test and the class worked very hard. We began our unit on percentages this week and will practice converting fractions and decimals to percentages.

Literature: We introduced The Secret Garden last week, and began reading the book. We will continue to read both in class and at home over the next few weeks. There are still a few students who do not have the book at school. If you are not able to purchase this book for you student please let me know as soon as possible!
Writing: The class did an amazing job on their presentations, I could tell they worked very hard on both their displays and presentations. I will be grading their papers this week, so look forward to having these returned next Monday. This week during our writing time we will be reviewing sentence diagramming and noun jobs.
Science: I was thrilled with the endocrine system test grades. The students had an excellent understanding of the content and it showed in their grades. This week we will begin our next unit on Plants by looking at characteristics all plants share.
History: Last week we entered the beginning of the Civil War by learning about the Battle of Fort Sumter. This week we will be studying the Civil War battles and the impact these had on the rest of the country.
