April 20-24th

This week in reading we are reviewing the concepts on our review assessments from last week. We will be going through the assessments that most students had the hardest time on and reviewing those concepts. We will review integrating 2 texts for information, understanding the meanings of words based on context clues in the text, and 1st hand and 2nd hand accounts. Our spelling is Sort 55 with "i before e except after c" words. These can be tricky to remember when to actually put i before e and when e goes before i. 20 points still need to be turned in on Friday.

This week in writing we will be starting our Porquois Tales. These are stories that explain why or how something is the way it is: for example, how the zebra got it's stripes. We will be reading examples and then starting our own.

This week in math we will be finishing our multiplying fractions by a whole number unit. We will do word problems with these type of problems and take our test on Wednesday. Students took a pre-test today on this. We will go over this tomorrow and they can take it home to study and practice. Then we will start our end of the year review. In Target Time we are continuing to review how to do long division. We will focus on long division in word problems.

This week in social studies we are presenting our Native American Homes. My class's projects were due today and Miss Goldsborough's class's projects are due tomorrow. Then we will continue to talk about Economics, specifically the Economics of Utah.

Don't forget! Our field trip is on Thursday. Please make sure that your students come dressed appropriate for the weather. Also, please make sure that they are on time to school. We will leave at 9:20 so if students are late, they will not be able to come.
