Hello Parents and Students:
Just a reminder that there is a field trip to Hill Middle School THIS Monday. There are still a couple of students who have not returned their permission forms. Please do so Monday morning.
Also, this Monday is the May Watt's Volunteer Luncheon from 2:00-3:30. We hope to see all of the volunteers there.
Here's what's going on in 5B this week:
Spelling: We are on spelling list #29 this week. The list has been posted to the blog, but it will appear under this post. For some reason, it did not want to post in its normal position. Don't you just love technology? :-)
The pretest will be on Monday morning and the test will be on Friday.
Math Accel: Students were given the Unit 6 study guide last week. The test will be on Tuesday. We will review the study guide just prior to the test. We will then begin Unit 8 on Wednesday. (Units 7 and 10 were moved to different grade levels, so we only have Units 8 and 9 remaining. )
Language Arts: We will continue to work on our documentaries and photo stories this week. We will also be starting memoirs. I will read a cute story entitled, Memoirs of a Goldfish, to introduce memoirs to the students. We will then choose a snippet from our lives to begin writing our own memoirs. We are just about finished with our current read aloud book, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. We will then decide as a class which book will be our next read aloud.
Social Studies: Social Studies will be our focus for the next two weeks. We just started discussing the vocabulary for chapter 11 and are working our way to the Civil War.
That's it for now. Please email me with any questions.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Mrs. Bennick :-)
