This Week in Room 33! April 1-5

What to expect this week in 5th grade:

Math- We are BUSY in math practicing everything we have learned this year in preparation for our MAP test! We are SO excited to show off what we know on that test. We are definitely ready! Assignment #12 is due Friday.

Social Studies- We are continuing our study of chapter 8 on the American Revolution.

Reading- We are working on comparing passages, context clues, and root words/affixes this week! Don't forget to always have a good fit book to read. Read to self continues to be one of our most important parts of the day! We are adding an activity called "Read, Pair, Share" this week after our Daily 3 choices so students have a chance to explain to a partner what they are reading about. The cold read "The Contest" is due Friday.

Writing- We are reviewing writing letters this week. Ask your student what the 5 parts of a letter are and where it is important to remember capital letters and commas. We are also going to be interviewing each other this week and becoming reporters!

Reminders: MAP testing begins Tuesday, April 16th. Let's hit a GRAND SLAM on the MAP!!!!
Early Release is Wed. April 24th.

Have a WONDERFUL week!
