February 17-20th

This week in reading we are going to be talking about the different text structures of informational texts. This week we will go in depth with cause and effect and compare and contrast. We will identify signal words to help us identify what type of text it and how to identify what is important in that type of text. We are done with essays for homework, so if your student has not finished all 4 essays, please make sure they finish them this week. Our spelling this week is Sort 44 with silent consonants. Students again need to do 20 points worth of work this week for their spelling homework.

This week in writing we are finishing our imagination story. We will edit, revise, and publish this story in class. We will also be going over some language standards as well. We will talk about adverbs, adjectives,  and coordinating conjunctions, all of which students will be required to use properly in their stories this week.

This week in math we are starting our geometry unit. We will be talking about angles, lines, and triangles this week. We will name each of these and talk about how to identify what they are. We will not have Target Time this week since some classes are still taking the writing test.

This week in social studies we will be talking about the Mormon Pioneers. We will talk about why they came to Utah, how they got here, and events that happened on their way.

The end of this term is coming up quickly! All missing assignments are due February 20th, that is THIS FRIDAY!!! Missing assignments will not be accepted after that. I will send home missing assignments this week and email you student's progress reports so you know what they are missing.
