Let's look ahead at our week...
Spelling:
Lesson 23: words ending in “tch” or “ch.” The test will be on Friday.
English:
So far, we have concentrated mostly on our adjective contract enrichment projects. This week, we will focus more on the textbook lessons for the adjectives unit.
Reading:
We will continue writing “Reader Responses” to different reading passages and continue practicing reading strategies in our Illinois Reading Standards workbooks. We will also create mini onomatopoeia books.
Math:
We will spend most of next week reviewing for the ISATs. This will include problem solving as well as a review of fourth grade math concepts. The students will be graded on one in-class T-chart toward the end of the week. If time allows, we will continue with our Measurement Chapter. If not, we will revisit it after the week of ISATs.
*Important: If your child has a different math teacher, please visit her blog for weekly math updates.
Social Studies:
We will finish Chapter 9 at the beginning of the week. The Chapter 9 Test is scheduled for Friday, February 26th. Please look for the “How to Study” worksheet for tips for preparing for the test.
Science:
We will complete Chapter 15 at the beginning of the week. The Chapter 15 Test is scheduled for Thursday, February 25th. Please look for the “How to Study” worksheet for tips for preparing for the test.
