April 18-22nd

This week in reading we are continuing our review. We will focus on reviewing main ideas and text structures. We will also review how to do the comprehension part of the DRA. Then we will begin testing students on their last DRA reading test of the year. Our spelling this week is Sort 55  with "i before e except after c" words. These can be tricky to remember when to actually put i before e and when e goes before i. 20 points still need to be turned in on Friday. Students should also be competing their reading log to turn in on Monday.

This week in writing we are starting our last writing project. We will be writing Porquois tales. These are stories that explain why or how something is in nature. Students begin writing their stories with their pre-write and rough draft this week. Later, we will make these stories into books.

This week in math we are first going to finish our multiplication of whole numbers and fractions unit. We will review on Monday and take our test on Tuesday. Students should bring home their pre-test as a study guide on Monday. After this test, we will begin our end of the year math reviewing. We will do this in class time and in Target Time. We will be reviewing the concepts that students are still struggling with the most or have forgotten from earlier this year.

This week in social studies we will be presenting our Native American Homes Projects. My class's projects are due on Tuesday, April 19th and Mrs. Ditto's class's projects are due on Wednesday, April 20th. Students should bring their home to school on that day. They will show the class their projects and we will display them out in the hall. We will also continue to learn about economics.
