April 11-15th

Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe break!

This week in reading we will continue to review our lowest concepts. We will continue to review the differences between poems, drama, and prose and terms that go with each. We will also review figuring out the main idea of a text. Lastly, we will review text structures of non-fiction texts. Our spelling this week will be Sort 54 with is Homographs. These should be pretty easy. This is pointing out words that are spelled the same but we say them differently. Students should make sure that they know what each of the words mean. Students also need to complete their reading log and read 20 minutes each day to turn in on Monday.

This week in writing we are finishing our Animal Report. Students should have finished their rough draft before Spring Break. Now we are focusing on editing, revising, and typing our Animal Report. They are due on Friday. We will be reading them to the class that day.

This week in math we are starting our last unit! We will be learning how to multiply fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers. This should be a pretty easy unit to end with. We will learn how to do all of this this week and then review and take our test next week. For Target Time we will begin Math Reviewing. Students took a review assessment before Spring Break that covered everything we have learned this year so we could see what concepts we still need to review before the end of the year Sage Test. We will start reviewing these concepts in Target Time this week.

This week in social studies we will be creating our own communities. We have been talking about what we need in a community to survive and for the community to thrive. Students will now draw their own community, and include all the things that it would need. We will present these to the class. We will also begin to learn what the economy is and what is involved in it. Also, don't forget to have your student work on their Native American Homes Project! It is due next week!
