Weekly Happenings

Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Here is what's happening this week:

Writing: We recently started the literary essay unit! In this unit, the students will be writing an essay over an idea they developed about a text. This is tough work, but they are doing amazing!

Reading: The students will form historical fiction book clubs. They will be reading two different books on the same topic over course of the unit. They will be working on understanding characters, recognizing perspectives, and finding the theme.

Social Studies/science: We are wrapping up our Civil War unit. The students received their study guides tonight. The test will be on Wednesday. Here is a completed study guide. 
Next, we will begin a force and motion unit in science.

Math: We will continue to review a variety of math concepts this week. We also have the first section of the math MAP test on Friday.

Important Reminders:
4/26 - Half Day LEAP
4/29,5/2 - MAP testing
5/4 - Junior Achievement
