Hello Students and Parents!
Here's what's going on in 5B this week:
First, we will be having a Read-In on Tuesday. Your child may bring in books of their choice to read, a towel/blanket, extra snack, gum, stuffed animal and wear pajamas if they'd like. If the weather is nice, we may go outside.
Word Study/Spelling: This week, I am combining two of the last lessons together. They are both short lessons. The Latin/Greek roots that we will be focusing on will be -sym, -ped and -pod. This will be the LAST word study lesson of the year! :-) The test will be on Friday.
Math Accel: This week in MA, we will continue working in Unit 9. There will not be a unit test for this unit, but I will be assessing their learning through exit slips and quizzes these next two weeks. This week we will be working on the Distributive Property/Law and simplifying and solving equations.
English Language Arts (ELA): We will continue working on our All About Me from A-Z books this week. They are coming along nicely. We will also be reading a TFK for current events. Our current read-aloud book is entitled, The Journey Back, which is the sequel to Red Kayak. We will also be using some of this time for our new social studies project on the Civil War.
Social Studies: We will be starting our study of the Civil War this week. This will be a group project and there will be several topics that each group can choose from to research pertaining to the Civil War. Each group will then be required to present their project to other groups. The kids will learn
more about this project tomorrow.
Science: We are finished with Science for the year!
That is it for this week.
I hope that you are all enjoying this beautiful Memorial Day weekend!
If you have any questions, please email me.
Thank you!
Mrs. Bennick :-)
