What Will We Be Learning This Week?
Math
We will be continuing Unit 5 in Math Expressions, which covers fractions, decimals, and probability.
We will not have Accelerated Math this week, except for students who have a 0% in any previous AM assignments for the quarter.
Language Arts
We will spend much of next week reviewing science during our Language Arts class.
We will not be having Words Their Way spelling lists due to the short week.
Social Studies
We will not be completing a USA Studies Weekly assignment this week. Instead, students should use the time studying for the science test.
Science
We will be completing our Forces & Motion Unit this week and taking the test on Friday. Students should be reviewing the study guide every night for 20 minutes.
Here is the unit study guide for your reference:
