Writing- We are kicking off learning about poetry this week by creating "blackout poems" and completing other fun poetry activities.

Math- This week we will continue working towards our ALEKS goals. We will also begin working on some math projects as well as skills to help prepare us for 6th grade.

Reading- We are looking forward to kicking off our final realistic fiction book clubs this week. We will also continue reading choice books for enjoyment and recommending great books to each other.

This Week in Room 33! April 10-13

Here's what to expect this week-

We will be participating in our 5th grade "MAP Prep. Intense Week"! Students will be spending about 30 minutes in each 5th grade classroom to review for the MAP test. We are covering math, reading/writing, and science! Students will be learning from different teachers and having FUN while working HARD!

The rest of our time will be busy as well as we continue to review all previously taught concepts in science, math and reading/writing as we explore the online tools and practice items on the computer. I couldn't be prouder of the amazing THINKING and LEARNING we are doing as we prepare! 

Upcoming Dates:
