March 21-25th

This week in reading we are going to be doing a lot of reviewing and practicing. We will be reading non-fiction and practicing comprehension questions from the passage. We will also practice reading a passage and writing about it. We will review taking notes from a non-fiction text to answer a question, and then writing 1-3 paragraphs to explain our answer to the question. Our spelling words this week are Sort 52 with words ending in -ness, -ful, and -less. Students should do 20 points and turn the work in on Friday. Students should also complete their reading log to turn in on Monday.

This week in writing we are reviewing for our Sage Writing Test next week. We will review how to write an explanatory essay and how to write an opinion paper. We will focus on writing main ideas and details, opinion and reasons, and making our papers better. For Target Time this week we will be reviewing as well. We will go over the rubrics they will be graded on and look at examples of good essays and poor essays.

This week in math we will continue our unit with decimals. We will focus on finding the decimals and fractions for money amounts, adding fractions in the tenths and hundreths together, and adding money and decimals.

This week in social studies we will learn about WWII and its effect on Utah. We will also learn about different leaders in Utah's history. Students will do an in-class report on a leader and present it to the class. They will have time in class to research, write, and present on their leader.

Lastly, we are so excited that we were able to get the funding for our new Chromebook! Thank you to all who donated to the project or shared the project with others. We are so grateful for your help! We hope to soon have another project to get a 7th Chromebook for our class!
