A Look Ahead 2-16

Enjoy your long weekend! Your spelling list is a little shorter this week, in part because it is a short week, and because I am having a tough time picking them out without all of us reading the same lit book.  J

Reading: This week we will focus on story elements, plot, and main idea. We will predict, and make inferences based on the events in the book. YOU should be reading 10-15 pages daily. Homework is fairly short, so make some time each night to read. Also don’t forget a sticky note when you read something you want to bring up with the group the next day.

Math:  Lessons 8-12; Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, probability, finding part of a number, problem solving strategies, and check your progress lessons 1-12. We will have a test early next week. I am shooting for Tuesday.

Science: You have your endangered animal project due Tuesday. Just fill out the form, and be sure to follow the checklist. You may present your animal in any way you desire. You can do a PowerPoint, a poster, diorama, etc… Choose a method to present that is fun for you. I want YOU to do the work.

Social Studies: Finally this week you will get to do your Biography. The Lego blocks will be back. Of course you do not have to use Lego blocks. You may do your next presentation as your choice as well. The only difference is it will all be done at school. You may need to do some research to write the biography at home. This grade will also be a grade in language.

We will take a really close look at the Declaration of Independence, and how it impacted the colonies as well as England.  We will continue to battles in the war as we read through King George.
