Week of March 19th

Hello everyone!! We have been working hard this week. We finished another TDA. The kids were so amazed to see how much their writing has grown since the beginning of the year. They were like "Is that all I wrote? Wow!!" It is so awesome for them to see their growth and to catch some of their mistakes.

Also, some of the testing/quiz dates I posted previously will need to be changed. We have MAP testing for reading this Tuesday and math on Thursday.

Academic News

Math - We will be taking a quiz on Module 7, lessons 10-17 on this coming Wednesday (perimeter) but have officially moved into Module 5 on Fractions. There were some questions on Thursday night's homework I need to go over in more detail before the quiz. We are still working on math MAP challenge sessions.

Reading - We will begin the story of "Amazing Grace" and focus on cause/effect. We will still be reviewing how to analyze a TDA during this time.

Reading MAP challenge sessions on text features, reference materials, figurative language, point of view, text structures, and genres.

Science and Social Studies - Revolution Test on Monday, the 26th. In science, we will be working on soil.
