Week of April 6th


Welcome back!! Abraham Lincoln (our 4th grade friend) is very excited to be back in the classroom! He can't wait to learn :)

We hope everyone had a nice break and a wonderful Easter.  We have just a short time left and we have lots to do!

There is a book report due this Friday, the book report sheets went home in the Friday Folder right before break.

This week in...

Reading: we are completing an extended response this week. We have a pretty cool, but challenging, topic.  Don't worry most of this will be done in class. We pick the text apart and really try to understand what the author is trying to tell us.  Our topic this week is on the Burmese Python and how it has taken over the Everglades. Tonight's homework is to finish reading the article "Snakes on the Glades" and circling interesting words-comprehension is not critical tonight, it will be comprehended  tomorrow!

Religion: chapter 7 test on Friday 

Spelling: lesson 26- wkbk, menu, and test all due/taken on Friday 

4th LA: quiz on comparative and superlative adjectives Friday

5th LA: quiz on Thursday over pronoun agreement and possessive pronouns 

4th SS: southwest region tour, we will finish the tour next week, letters and scrapbook pages will be due on April 23rd

5th SS: we will start chapter 10.  Mostly about the constitution, so it is a big topic.  We should be reviewing notes every night  once we get started tomorrow!
