The end of the quarter is right around the corner. As a result, we will be testing in several subjects as we bring our chapters of study to a close. Look for tests in science, math, and spelling this week, as well as a chapter 2 test in social studies next week. These tests can make a difference in one's grades, so please encourage study. Besides that, studying at an early age makes for good habits later. Now here is a run down of the week:
Math - We are practicing "predict and test" word problems, and they are difficult to do without some teacher guidance. However, there will be two problems of this nature on the Ch. 4 test on Wed.
Writing - The class is enjoying gathering facts about their chosen countries. The artsy part of the paper they are writing has to do with writing a catchy introduction to an otherwise ordinary report. Students will glue a picture of "Waldo" (remember the Where's Waldo books?) to the maps of the world that they have made. Students will then write as if Waldo is visiting their country. I hope the stories and maps will make a really fun and informative display!
Spelling - All students will test in spelling this week.
Reading - We have finished the cause and effect skill and will move on to inferences. There are a lot of fun stories that go along with this skill!
Science - We will test over chapters 4 and 5 on Tuesday. Don't panic, however, as the test covers only the parts of the chapters indicated on the study guide.
Social Studies - We will finish Ch. 2 by Friday. Look for a study guide to come next weekend. Our test will be the early part of next week - probably Tuesday.
Important Events:
Mon. - Fundraiser money needs to be turned in; library;
Tues. - Science test; Spelling test for the Red and Yellow Groups;
Wed. - Math test over chapter 4; spelling test for the Green and Blue Groups;
