Hello! I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend!
Here's what's happening:
Writing: The students have been researching and writing about the causes of the revolutionary war. They will focus on one cause to elaborate on in their writing. This week they will wrap up researching and focus on getting their drafts completed.
Reading: The students are continuing to learn how to research a topic. They will be using multiple sources to get their notes from, which they will have to synthesize. They will also study primary sources. Also, please make sure your child is reading 20 minutes each night. This is very important to their reading success.
Word Study: Their tests are scheduled for Wednesday, January 18.
Science/Social Studies: We are continuing to learn about the properties of matter. They will learn how to find the volume of regular and irregular shapes. They will also learn how to measure the mass of an item. Instead of a test, the students will work in different stations that assess their knowledge.
Math: We will wrap up chapter 8 this week. They will learn how to write proper and improper fractions. Their test is this Friday.
Important Dates:
1.18 - Math Test
1.25 - Early Release
