May 18-22nd

This week in reading we are going to focus on reading our Literature Circle books. All students have chosen a chapter book that they would like to read. They will be getting together in groups of students who are reading the same book and discuss it. They will have certain jobs to do each time they meet and will hopefully have fun while reading this last book in class! We will also discuss as a class what metacognition and synthesis mean and how to use these reading strategies. Our last spelling list of the year is Frequently Misspelled Words #3. It is important on this list for students to understand when to use each homophone such as their, there, they're and we're and were.

This week in writing we are working really hard on our plays. Students need to have all of their lines memorized by this Friday. We will be figuring out our costumes, props, and sets this week as well. We will also focus on acting the plays out and making them look and sound really good. If anyone else wants to come help us with the plays, the extra help would be wonderful!! We will be performing our plays on Thursday, Ma 28th at 1:00 in the auditorium. Please make sure that your student is here on that day for school, and please come and enjoy our plays and all the hard work we have put into them!

This week in math we will be doing some math games to review. We want to keep all that we have learned this year fresh in our head so we will be ready for 5th grade!

This week in social studies we are taking our Cumulative Review Test. My class is taking it today and Miss Goldsborough's class is taking it tomorrow. This will be the last thing we do in social studies this year.

As a reminder, all missing assignments are due today. I should have all grades updated by tomorrow after school, including students' scores on their social studies test.
