March 8-11th

This week in reading we are going to be focusing on identifying the theme of a text. A theme is the lesson we can learn from a text. We will read a couple stories and some poems and discuss what the theme of them might be. Our spelling this week will be Sort 50 with words ending in y and ly. Since we have a short week students only need to do 15 points this week. Students should turn their reading long in from last week this Tuesday and need to complete their reading log for his week and turn it in on next Monday.

This week in writing we will be finishing our imaginative stories. Students should finish their rough draft, complete their revising and editing checklist, and re-write their story in class. It can either be handwritten or typed. The checklist and rubric for this story are up on my blog. his is due on Friday March 11th. If they are not completely finished by Thursday in class, they should complete this at home that night.

This week in math we will be finishing our Geometry Unit. We will review how to join and separate angles to find their measurements and will work on finding unknown angles in problems. We will take our Geometry test on Friday and students will bring home their pre-test as a study guide on Thursday. Please help your student study for this test! In Target Time we will continue to go over Mixed Numbers. Students who did not pass the test last time will retake the test in Target Time.

This week in social studies we will be learning about how Utah got it's statehood. We will talk about Utah as a territory and then how Utah became a state. We will also discuss wars that occurred in Utah with the Native Americans.

Lastly, we are still trying to raise money for another Chromebook for our class. We still need $200 and we have until March 17th to raise the money through Donors Choose. If you can, please help us by donating or share this link with others who would be willing to donate to our classroom or share it on social media! Our class loves being able to use our class Chromebooks in every subject. Link to donate to our project: http://www.donorschoose.org/project/continuing-to-thrive-through-technology/1791332/
