Recent Happenings
Reading:
We will be finishing reading From the Mixed-Up Files this week, completing Chapters 9 & 10.
Spelling/Vocabulary:
Due to the School Improvement Day on Friday (no school for students), we will be taking our vocabulary/spelling pre-test on Monday. All the homework, therefore, will be moved up one day. Students will be assigned spelling corrections on Monday night, definitions/part of speech on Tuesday night, and sentences on Wednesday night.
WEX:
Students have been writing very creatively with their characters! We have also participated in fun fantasy writing prompts based off of a picture, and 5-4 students came up with what was happening in that moment. We will be continuing to develop our fiction characters this week.
Science:
Students are continuing with the energy unit. Looking forward, they will soon be coming up with sketches involving their own chain reactions!
