A Peek at Our Week
Reading: This week, will be focusing on the skill "theme". Using the Trickster Tales from our reading book, we will be digging into the theme of a story, or lesson/moral. Our tales can be found on pages 282, 288, and 294. There will be a test over each of these tales on Friday (10 questions). As always, the test is open book and the students are ENCOURAGED to go back to the story to prove their answer! As a whole, they are doing much better with the open response written questions.
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 Friday (open book). This chapter focuses on many important men and women from our history. This week, the students are finishing their posters on one of these important people. This is an in class activity that is due on Friday.
