Week of 12/4

Good morning,
 
This week in Language Arts we are reading two realistic fiction stories about growing a garden. We are working on retelling, and in Grammar we are working on verb tenses, and recognizing base words. In Math we are starting Chapter 5, which is all about decimal division. We are finishing up a lesson in Social Studies and will take the test later this week.
 
We are finishing up Let's Go Learn tests this week as well. Before the Winter Break I would also like to take a practice Language Arts CAASPP, and a practice Math CAASPP to start preparing students for the CAASPP tests we take in the Spring. If we don't have time to do these before Winter Break, we will do them after.
 
This Thursday at 8:20am is our second Parent University, it is about teaching students to be responsible on the internet.
 
We are doing our second benchmark writing assignment in the next few weeks. Students will be writing winter themes acrostic poems.
