Hello Parents and Students:
Just a reminder that the Volunteer Luncheon is THIS Thursday, April 18th from 2:00-3:30. Hope all of you wonderful volunteers can join us. Also, please remember to return the signed report card envelope at your earliest convenience.
Here's what's going on in 5B this week:
Spelling: We are on Unit 27 this week! Just three more spelling tests remain after this week!
The pretest will be on Monday and the test will be on Friday, as usual.
Math Accel: Monday, we will be working on a project which will involve keeping/balancing a checking account register. This goes along with our focus on adding and subtracting positive and negative integers. Also, moving forward, we will continue to work on absolute value, the properties of number systems, order of operations and number sentences.
Language Arts: In reading, we will begin to work on our Moving Forward theme and we will be reading/interpreting a book entitled, We Are America. Also, we will be finishing up our picture book mash-up projects. We will also continue to work on activities related to current events in our TFK magazines. In writing, we will begin working on a persuasive writing piece pertaining to our moving forward theme.
Science: We have been studying the layers of the sun and last Friday we began creating our own clay models of the layers. We will finish these on Monday. They look awesome! Then, we will be moving onto constellations and creating our own constellations.
That's it for now. Please email me with any questions.
Thank you!
Mrs. Bennick :-)
