Salmon's Week 28 News (BiWeekly)
April 16th-27
Seek Peak at the Week Ahead
Writing: The students are doing a lot of short term writing to prepare for the SBAC. We are working on our Volcano research paper. Next week we will also review the three types of writing to prepare for the SBAC. Students are expected to be able to write one of the following based on reading three articles and using the information to write:
Narrative
Persuasive
Informational.
We will be using the Volcano idea to practice and review.
Science: We will be starting our unit on weather including severe weather. We will be watching the a few of videos of Storm Chasers.
Social Studies: Our lessons from the text will stop and we will begin and in depth study of Lewis and Clark.
SBAC Testing
Again the schedule has yet to be approved and finalized but I will have that to you as soon as I receive it. I will be so very important that children are here ready to test.
Science Fair - April 27th
We will NOT be pre-selling wrist bands. We hope to have a great turn out so that we can purchase 3-5 more LEGO kits for Ridge View. The inflatables will be available from 6-7:30 for $5.00 per person (CASH ONLY!).
We are asking that students that are participating in the science fair in the evening bring all their items to school earlier in the day (if possible). We are inviting 3rd graders to come to a gallery presentation during the day to allow the 4th grader to practice.
