Good morning,

 

This week we are working in making inferences, using quotations and interjections, prefixes in-, un-, dis-, and mis-, and identifying homophones in Language Arts.

 

In Math we are still working on multiplying fractions; today we are taking the mid-chapter quiz.

 

Today students are taking a Social Studies test, and tomorrow we will be starting a new unit in Science about Earth Systems. 

 

Today I am giving a book report assignment to the students. They will come home with several options for how they would like to complete this project. Tomorrow at school they will be picking the book report option that they would like to complete and be given a grading rubric for how their report will be graded. The guidelines for their book report are they are required to read a chapter book, and it cannot be a graphic novel. It can be a book that they are already reading. We are going to the mobile library tomorrow so if your student doesn't have a book to use for this report, they can get one tomorrow. The book report is due Thursday, March 30th. 

 

We are CAASPP testing this month, March 23^rd and March 29th. I will try to have snacks for them to eat in the morning, but it is very important than students eat breakfast, get plenty of sleep the night before, and come to school on time. We will take the Math and Science CAASPP tests later on in the year.
