Word Study
On Tuesday, we will have our Word Study Quiz over List 27 (Chapters 8-10 in Bridge to Terabithia). I plan to finish the book this week as well, so a new word study list will be given. The list will be only 7 words and include only 3 options. This work will be due by next Tuesday, May 23rd. This will include words from chapters 11-13 in our novel and will also be our final list of the school year. The list can be found here.
Reading Comprehension/Writing
We are finishing our last 3 chapters of Bridge to Terabithia this week. As we finish, the students will continue to identify the plot elements (climax, falling actions, and resolution). On Friday the students will be given a partner/group activity as fun and exciting way to show their understanding of the book! These projects will be presented next Tuesday and Wednesday.
Math
This week we will finish our entire math book! Chapter 13 continues with using Area and Perimeter to solve multi-step problems. The students will also be engaged in creating a map of a "perfect bedroom" using the knowledge gained from this chapter.
Science
Continuing with the Mystery Science lessons that we started last week, this week we delve into understanding What Do Blind People See? This unit will lead us to our next two units of:
- How can some animals see in the dark? and...
- How does your brain control your body?
This is officially my last blog post of the school year. Thank you all for your support throughout the past 9 months and I am truly proud of the progress your children have made! I will be sending home a permission slip for anyone who is willing to "babysit" our class pet for the first two weeks of August. If you are interested, let me know as soon as possible!
