A peek at our week...
VOCAB: Unit 5: Test Friday. Try to use these words in your everyday vocabulary at home!
Math: We have begun Topic 15, Length and Perimeter. We are still learning to measure with a ruler, measuring to the nearest 1/2 and 1/4 of an inch. We may have a short quiz over lessons 15-1 through 15-4 on Friday. This will depend on how well the class progresses through the topic.
Social Studies: We are wrapping up Chapter 5 in our Social Studies books. Our test will be Thursday (open book). This chapter focuses on many important men and women from our history. This week, the students will be creating posters on one of these important people. This is an in class activity that is due on Friday. A study guide will be in their science/SS journals. Please use this to study!
