Dear Parents,
Reading
found, please return to Mrs. H. ASAP.
We are continuing our class novel, My Teacher's an Alien. Students should have finished chapter 10 by the end of the hour on Friday. Everyone has their own copy, so if they are behind, they should be reading it at home. We are using the Notice & Note strategies for close reading and this week the class learned about Contrast & Contradiction and Aha! Moment signposts. Next week we will look at Words of the Wiser and Tough Questions.
Writing
Math
During the week of March 6th -10th, students learned how to use conversion factors to convert units of length and capacity. They worked with both the U.S. Customary and Metric Systems. Students also worked on converting units of weight and mass. Homework that is due on March 13th is page 319 (2-14) & page 320 (1-6), and page 325 (2-10) and page 326 (1-6).
During the week of March 13th-17th, students will continue to convert units of weight and mass. They will also transform units and solve multi-step problems. Students will end the week learning about the relationship between distance, rate, and time. Looking ahead, students should plan on taking the Chapter 6 test on Tuesday, March 21st.
Social Studies
Science
Students will get their physical and chemical changes quiz back on Monday. They will have an opportunity to earn back points on the quiz. We will wrap up our unit this week and have our Matter Unit Test on Thursday 3-16-17. Review sheets will be given Monday for students to work through. These will be due Thursday before the test.
