Academics May 20-31

Time flies when you are having fun!

We have only 12 days of school left - where did this year go?  Here is a run down on the remainder of the school year.

In MUR...
We will be finishing our fairytale unit this week. Students are putting the finishing touches on their own fairytales the next two days. Next week we will be reviewing and taking the final interim assessment of the school year. The last week of school we will read some fun stories to wrap up the school year.
We will have one more week of spelling (assigned on the 28th) that will go with Wordly Wise lesson 17.

In MUM...
This week we are going to take the last interim of the school year! We will then review the results, and the last few weeks of school we will review any skills that need reteach, and also go through a few 5th and 6th grade standards to get a jump start on next year!

In History...
the next 6-7 days I will be teaching Mrs. Slavik's class about American Reformers and we will also do a little lesson on Minnesota and the Midwest region of the United states.

In Writing...
 We will finish out the year working on our poetry unit. Students have learned all about Limericks, Concrete Poems, and BioPoems so far. We will next be working on Haikus and Free Verse poetry.
