March 30th-April 3rd

This week in reading we will continue to review reading strategies. We will talk about making connections from the text to our own lives as well as other texts. We also will talk about how to monitor meaning so we can be sure that we are understanding what we are reading. Our spelling is Sort 52 this week with the suffixes -ness, -ful, and -less.

This week in writing we are continuing to work on our Animal Research Report. We will be working on our draft for most of this week. If students are not done with their research, they should be bringing home their pre-write so they can finish the research they still need. Students are required to use at least 3 sources for their research. They need to have at least 1 book and 1 website, and the 3rd can be another of either.

This week in math we will be finishing our decimals unit. We will be preparing students in class and in Target Time for our decimals test on Friday. We will do lots of word problems this week with decimals, including learning how to divide money. We will also do plenty of reviewing for it. So far, students have been doing very well with decimals and I am very pleased!

This week in social studies we are talking about the things needed for a community to thrive. We are learning about ghost towns to help us identify what communities need. We will discuss what producers and consumers are as well.
