Language Arts
Today in spelling we talked about when to drop the final e when adding a suffix. In words with the long vowel and silent e pattern (hike), the final e is dropped before adding a suffix that begins with a vowel (hiking).
This week in language arts we will continue reading tall tales, and biographies. In writing, we are revising and editing "I Am" poems.
Math
This week, we will be reviewing for MAP testing next week, as well as working in Chapter 11 of My Math on measurement. There will not be a fact test this week, due to biography presentations on Friday.
Social Studies/Science
This week, we will continue discussing westward expansion and slavery.
