Reading/Writing: Reading and Writing will be integrated into Social Studies for the next couple of weeks.
In Math, I have developed small groups through ALEKS and MAP reports. The children will work with their group as I rotate around to work with each group.
This week, Social Studies will be focused on Westward Expansion on Monday and Tuesday. That test will be on Wednesday. We will then move immediately into the Civil War. The children have background knowledge of this subject, so we will be able to move quickly through this as well. The test for Civil War will be on Monday, May 16th. I don't normally give tests on Mondays, but we have MAP testing on Tuesday and Wednesday of that week...and a field trip on Friday. Better to just get it done. :-)
