Reading  = The Reading Strategies we will be reviewing this week will include Cause and Effect and Fact and Opinion.  Please continue to encourage your child to read at home, but I will not be sending home any official reading log anymore.  Thank you to all of those who have worked with their child throughout the year to complete these and enhance reading strategy use at home.  This week, we will be testing over Reading through MAP on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. 

Writing = We will continue looking at test taking strategies and ways to respond to questions.  We want to answer in complete sentences and include all important details with appropriate grammar use.

Math = This week we will be working with Chapter 14: Geometry.  This chapter is heavy with vocabulary so we will be creating a Geometry Vocabulary Journal to help build confidence.  Next week, we will be MAP testing over Math so we will also be reviewing this week.

Spelling = We will not have new spelling words this week due to testing.

PBL: Ecosystems= This week we will be looking at Nature Unleashed Chapters 5 and 6.  We are also working to research our Ecosystem (Pond, Forest, and Prairie) and Problems (littering, vandalism, deforestation, and prairie).
