This Week's Set List (April 25-29)
Week at a Glance/Skills for the Week:
LITERACY – We will begin our final novel study on Tuesday. We will read The Phantom Tollbooth. This fantasy novel is full of interesting language, puns, and figurative language making it a favorite! The Book Review Assignment is due on May 26th.
WRITING – We are wrapping up our work with poetry, and will move on to informational writing. Students will use what they're learning about the Civil War to write these pieces.
MATH – We will finish on Unit 11, which focuses on geometrical concepts. The test is scheduled on Tuesday, April 26th. A study guide was sent this past week, and we will review the day before the test.
SPELLING – During 4th quarter, we will not be taking spelling tests. All students in this class have demonstrated a 4th-5th grade mastery of spelling, and therefore, we will utilize time for other learning!
SCIENCE – No science this week.
SOCIAL STUDIES – We continue our Civil War Unit in Social Studies. Students are exploring the following questions throughout their reading and learning: How do people react to change? How do we use the past to help us in our future?
TIPS - We will continue to use this time for test taking strategies, as well as a chance to practice Socratic Seminars.
