HOMEWORK:   
Math: In student planners it says that Activity 5-4 is due. Mrs. Custer realizes that small steps are needed so Activity 5-4 is NOT DUE.


Science: Study Page 31 in your journal for the test on Monday. 

Book Projects: Students should finish their biography book. We have talked about this every day. The project will be a biography that will be written in class beginning on Monday.
  MATH   - Mrs. Custer

We started our division unit with powers of ten and working with decimals.  Then we spent a couple of days practicing long division and learning how to deal with remainders. Our homework is just a little long division practice.

BLOWERS WRITING:    

Students completed their Personal Narratives. On Monday we will begin discussing the standards and how to research and write a biography.

READING: with Mrs. Blowers

  We have been practicing strategies used to figure out words in context. We played a couple games in order to practice as well. We will extend this practice to texts they read by doing some documentation of how they are using strategies. 

Students chose an article about an animal to read and discuss with a partner. The goals are to practice strategies for vocabulary and summarizing nonfiction text. Students will type their summaries into a newspaper template to share out to others. We will be adding to the newspaper as this will be tying into our upcoming science unit.

Social Studies with Mrs. Custer

We are finished with the Early American Colonies and have completed a challenging test.  We all did our best and next week we continue through American history! There will be no social studies next week as we are doing our Reproductive Health unit.

Science with Mrs. Blowers   

Students presented to the class about their planet or dwarf planet. We will have a test on Monday. Study journal page 31. Tuesday we begin Reproductive Health lessons during science.   

Spelling:     The Lesson 20 test was Friday. The lesson 21 skill is homophones their, there, and they're. The spelling list is in the spelling tab.
