Battle of the Books
Please ask your child to check for Battle Books at home and return them to school next week.
Language Arts
- Reading: This week we reviewed drawing conclusions and making generalizations. We read a biography about Cesar Chavez.
- Writing: We worked on writing a descriptive paragraph about spring break.
- Grammar: Students learned about relative pronouns and adverbs.
- Biography Project: In a week we will be starting our final project for language arts, our biography project. Students need to think of a famous American for our report. I'd like students to tell me their person by next Friday, April 14. Students will then check out a few books and we'll begin our research at school.
Math
Social Studies
We finished our tour of the Southwest region. Students learned about the Oklahoma land rush and participated in an activity where they role played different characters who took part. They also learned about the Alamo. We took out post test on the Southwest. We also talked about economics and learned about the characteristics of a market economy and how it works.
- Mini Society
We will have our mini society on April 19. Please make sure your child has their product ready for that day. They should be getting it ready at home. Everything else will be done at school. We will be inviting other grade levels to come and “purchase” our products.
