Math: The class seems to have a pretty firm grasp on the concepts we are studying. We will be taking time to review fractions this week and will be testing next week. If you find your child is struggling, please let me know and be sure they attend tutoring on Tuesday and Thursday.
Writing/Grammar: We will be writing our final drafts of our descriptive paragraphs and then will be moving to the final step of Publishing. We also will be going back to grammar, focusing on types of nouns and pronouns.
Literature: I hope everyone is enjoying Where the Red Fern Grows. In this book we are focusing on using the text-based evidence to answer questions and make inferences. Hopefully everyone has had the opportunity to look through the 100 Point Project with their students and make project choices. I would encourage getting a head start on these and making a plan for the timeline in which to complete the project.
Science: Most students did very well on the Chemistry test and it was clear they studied their notes. We began our next unit this today on animal classification.
History: Throughout this unit the we have been practicing various ways of taking notes and studying. I encourage you to have your child bring home their notes to review the concepts we are learning in class.
