This week in class...

Language Arts

In Reading, we will continue with our Book Club routines.  Students will read the pages they chose for the next meeting, summarizing and responding after each day.  We will move our Book Club meeting this week to next Monday in order to give students extra time to prepare this week, due to some shorter class periods last week and this week. 

In Language Arts and Writing we will be finishing our final conclusion paragraphs, along with revising and publishing our data and observations from our decomposition science projects, in order to begin putting together our display boards for the Science Fair on April 5.  



Math

We will continue exploring the introductory concepts of algebra this week. In particular, we will be looking at integers and negative numbers, and practice graphing equations.

Monday: One Xtramath.org lesson, watch the MathAntics Videos above, Math IXL V.7
Tuesday: One Xtramath.org lesson, Math IXL V.8

Social Studies

This week we will practice one last time as we prepare for our final presentation on the Greek and Roman Civilizations. Parents, we would love to have you come Wednesday at either 8:15 or 8:45 am in the morning to see all of the kids' hard work.
