Hello Parents and Students:
Just a reminder that there is no school on Monday or Tuesday this week for students. Monday is President's Day and Tuesday is Parent-Teacher Conferences from 1:00-8:00p.m. I have already contacted you if I feel a conference is necessary.
A big thank you to Mrs. Rohm and Mrs. Pastore for planning a wonderful Valentine's Day party for us!
And THANK YOU to all of the students who brought me delicious chocolates and other things to enjoy! I sincerely appreciate it!
Here's what's going on in 5B this week:
Spelling: There is no spelling this week due to the short week.
Language Arts: In reading, we will continue to discuss courageous acts. We read the book, Courage, last week and created a T-Chart that listed ordinary types of courage and phenomenal types of courage. We will continue this theme this week by comparing/contrasting courageous characters from books we've read. The TFK we will be reading this week talks about US currency. Do we really need the penny? It costs more to make it than it's worth! In writing, we will continue to work on our extended responses that go along with the book, Wonder.
Math Accel.: We have just about finished up Unit 4. The Unit 4 study guide will be coming home this week. The test will be either the following Tuesday or Wednesday. We will begin Unit 5 this week which focuses on Geometry.
Social Studies: We just finished up Chapter 8 last week. We made a study guide and the Chapter 8 test will be on the day the students return, Wednesday. They should be studying the study guide and rereading the Chapter 8 worksheets that we completed in class.
That's it for now. Enjoy the next two days off!
