Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend!
Here is what's happening this week:
Writing: We have wrapped up the poetry unit! I am beyond impressed at the poems each student created! This week, we are moving on to our literary essay unit. The students will be writing an essay over an idea from a text.
Reading: We are continuing to practice test taking strategies this week. To help get your child thinking while reading at home, ask them questions about the text. You can ask them about the plot, to explain the characters, make predictions, or tell about the theme.
Social Studies: We are learning about the reconstruction period after the Civil War. They are learning about poor working conditions and how people began to fight for better conditions. We will plan on testing next Friday unless we take the third day of ELA MAP testing. If that's the case, then we will push it to the following Tuesday (LEAP can take it Monday or Wednesday).
Math: We will wrap up geometry this week. Their test will be this Wednesday. For the rest of the week and next, we will be reviewing a variety of math concepts.
Important Reminders:
4/19 - MAP Testing Begins
4/20 - Early Release
