Due to testing going on this week, our schedule looks a little different than usual. We will only have three full days (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday) that the schedule will look like usual and we will touch on all subjects.
On Monday, students will review and fill out the study guide for our upcoming Solar System test. This test will cover space technology, the difference between planets and stars, the phases of the moon, what causes day and night, and what causes the seasons. They will be taking the study guide home to prepare.
On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, students will be pulled individually to complete the BAS reading assessment. This will happen during our ELT (Extra Learning Time).
Reading
This week in reading, students will review how to identify the main idea of a nonfiction text. We will also begin reading the chapter book, James and the Giant Peach.
Math
In math this week, students will learn how to add and subtract decimals within word problems. We will show students how to write an equation that matches the problem by first identifying which operation fits what the problem is asking. Students will then practice drawing models as a strategy for adding and subtracting decimals. A sample word problem looks like this:
Writing
In writing this week, students will learn how to "stretch out" sentences as a way to make their writing more interesting and exciting to read.
Science
Students will be given time in class to review for our test. We will play a review game on Kahoot and take the test on Thursday.
