Following this week's update are pictures of Abilities Awareness Day. It was a very enjoyable experience as everyone was involved in one way or another. Here is what is happening this week:
Math - We are continuing to work on our multiplication facts, but are also studying geometry. There is a lot of new vocabulary with geometry, so it must be learned for the chapter test. I am predicting that our Ch. 19 test will take place next week rather than this week. You will want to study the vocabulary well in advance of the test, so I will make sure the vocabulary words come home this week.
Writing - After Abilities Awareness Day, our class wrote a narrative about our experience. Students should have their first drafts finished by the middle of the week. The students are good writers now, so we are working on the fine points - mechanics, spelling, and paragraphing.
Reading - I am working with skills groups in an effort to improve reading so that students can successfully read and find important information. The goal is for every student to be capable of being proficient on upcoming MAP tests.
Science - We have a science test on Tuesday. Students took home a science book and a study sheet for Chapter 11, lesson 1 this weekend. The vocabulary for this lesson is difficult. We have done a lot with the material, but I fear the test will still be difficult. Please spend enough time on the study guide.
Social Studies - We will be writing our business plans for social studies this week. I think everybody has settled on a product idea!
