5B Activities for the Week of May 19th, 2014

Hello Parents and Students!

Here's what's going on in 5B this week!

Word Study/Spelling:  We are on Lesson 27 this week.  We continue to study Latin and Greek roots.  This week our focus will be on the roots, -mis/-mit.  The words have been posted to the blog and the test will be on Friday, as usual.

Math Accel:  This week in MA, we will be reviewing for our Unit 8 test, which will be on Tuesday.  Monday will be the review day.  On Wednesday, we will be starting Unit 9, which is our last unit of the year, and it will focus on Variables, Formulas and Graphs.

English Language Arts (ELA):  We finished the book, Red Kayak, this past week.  Early in the week, we will be reviewing the book and there will be a test on it on Wednesday or Thursday this week.  We will begin reading the sequel to this wonderful book entitled, The Journey Back, later this week.  We will also be starting our last writing assignment of the school year.  This will be our All About Me from A-Z book.  The guidelines for this writing project will be coming home early in the week.

Social Studies:  In SS this week, we will be discussing "The People's President", how inventions changed factories and farms, early railroads, the struggle for reform, fighting against slavery and women's rights.

That's it for now.  Please email me with any questions.

Have a great week!

Mrs. Bennick :-)
