The Spring Break Buzz has begun...please help us remind the kids that we still have three very important days before break!
LA: We started a new story today, Weslandia, which will help us learn about the following vocabulary words: shortage, bedlam, outcast, reflected, strategy, civilization, traditional and complex. We are also learning about articles (a, an and the) in grammar. Our spelling words proved tricky today because they are all homophones. In our skills this week, we will be learning about text features and themes in stories. We also completed more research for our state float projects in computer lab today.
Please note: We had a discussion today regarding some of the students' scores on their weekly homework packets. From now on, if a student does not receive at least a 4/5 (80%) on the comprehension section of the packet, or a M on the summary section, these parts will need to be redone and turned back in the following day.
HW: Weekly homework packet (without the summary) is due Thursday. The first two research sources are also due on Thursday showing that progress has been made in the research for your state float project.
Math: We learned about volume of cylinders today, which gave us a great chance to review how to find the area of a circle.
HW: Complete page 387, Math box 11.3 and Study link 11.3 for homework tonight.
Social Studies: Today was the chapter 7 assessment.
HW: None
