March 10-13th

This week in reading we will be talking about theme. We will be reading Sort 53. These words are all homophones. This means that the words sound the same but have different meanings and different spellings. It is very important this week that students understand the meaning for each of the words so they know which homophone is being asked when they spell a word. 20 points are still needed for this week.

This week in writing we are focusing on editing and revising our rough draft. Then we will start work on our posters. If you student could bring in a poster board this week for their author report, that would be wonderful! If not, just have your student let me know and I will be more than happy to get one for them, they just might not get to pick out a color they like! We will look for pictures of our author and pictures relating to our author that we can print out and put on our poster. We will learn how to cite our sources for where we got our pictures as well.

This week in math we are finishing our Geometry unit. We will do some word problems, practice measuring angles, and review all that we have learned in this unit. We will take our test on Friday. In target time this week we will also be focusing on geometry to get students ready for the test on Friday. On Thursday's homework, students will need to use a protractor. If you do not have access to a protractor at home, students are welcome to stay a couple minutes after school to use one of mine or to stay in from recess for a few minutes that day to use mine. Students cannot take my protractors home to do their homework though.

This week in social studies we will be talking about the next major events in Utah's history. We will discuss the relocation of the American Indians and the growing industry of our state.
