This week in class...

Language Arts

This week we will continue with our novel Bridge to Terabithia, analyzing the characters and figurative language along with discussing themes of the novel.  We will continue to practice the proper use of capitalization, commas, and other punctuation.  In Working with Words, we'll be practicing words with the suffixes -tion and -sion along with high-frequency words that students should spell correctly in all of their writing.

Math

This week in math students will be rounding and estimating whole numbers and decimals.  Students should continue to complete 1 lesson of Xtramath.org every night, Monday through Thursday.  We can already see the progress students are making in their math facts fluency!
