This Week's Academics
MUR -This week we will be reading about Johnny Appleseed which ties into our Wordly Wise lesson 16 words. Students will also be working on the skills that we have been working on all year; retelling, sequencing, character traits and emotions, and verbal and written comprehension.
this week;s spelling words are superlatives which are words that end in -est and are comparing two or more things.
Science - Currently we are learning about electricity. We will focus our learning on what creates static electricity and do some experiments with balloons, learn about open and closed circuits, experiment with these circuits using batteries, wire and light bulbs, and also learn about electromagnets. There will be no formal test with this unit, but we will take an in class quiz in groups.
Writing
- This week we continue to work on our opinion essays on whether zoos are good or bad.
Read Aloud - We continue to read Among the hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix this week.
MUM -This week we will be taking the second round of MCAs on Wednesday and Thursday. Please make sure that your child gets plenty of sleep and a good breakfast and lunch. Since this year students are allowed to take the MCA math assessment twice, the student's higher score is what will be recorded by the state.Good luck!
