April 27th - May 1st

This week in reading we are continuing to go over our review assessments. We will focus on explaining things from a text as well as figuring out words using context clues. We will also be working on our DRA. We have made goals based on our last DRA and hope to make progress on this last DRA of the year. Our spelling sort this week in Sort 56. These are geography words and are sorted by syllable. They are quite tricky to spell so make sure your students do their spelling homework!

This week in writing we are continuing to work on our Porquois Tales. We will write our rough drafts, edit and revise them, and work on our storyboards. These stories we will make into books when we are done with them.

This week in math we are reviewing for our Sage test next week. In class we are focusing on fractions and in Target Time we are focusing on numbers in base ten operations. We also have been doing a self-assessment checklist which students will bring home this week. This will show you what things your student needs to review with you at home. If you would like to give your student more practice on the standards they need work on, just do a Google Search for the standard attached to each item listed that your student did not put a check next to. You will find plenty on the internet to help your student understand each concept.

This week in social studies we will be continuing to talk about the economics of Utah. We will also begin to talk about our rights and responsibilities as a citizen.

For science, Miss Goldsborough is sending home some tests to help your student review for our Sage Science test. When your student brings them home, please help them to find the answers. They can look them up on the internet to find the answers if they need to.
