We had a very good week last week. It actually felt good to have five days of school!
I will be needing your help in social studies this week. Students will be given a typed note showing the brainstorm they compiled for possible business ideas for Economics Day. Hopefully this will help you and your child decide on a product to make and sell on this day. Return the attached note to indicate what your child's business will be. Please do not feel confined by the choices on the brainstorm. You may do whatever you like.
Writing: This week we continue working on writing to a prompt. Students must master this skill before taking the MAP test.
Math: We will begin Chapter 19, which is a study of geometry. There will be a lot of vocabulary to learn, and we will keep a geometry journal to help us keep the vocabulary straight. Also, this week will be a review of all facts learned thus far in multiplication. Students may mix their fact cards together now so that they can practice them in random order. We will have at least two review tests this week. Please mark all practice times on the new log that came home on Friday.
Reading: We are learning more about the importance of close reading in test taking situations and practicing the implementation of close reading marks.
Spelling: No spelling this week! That way everyone can practice more on their math facts!
Science: We will learn about food chains and food webs. If time allows, we will make a food web mural.
S. Studies: We are continuing our study of economics.
