HOMEWORK:   

Mrs. Blowers Class has a 1/2 sheet of homework to do with a parent from our Reproductive Health Lesson on Friday.


MATH   - Mrs. Custer
The kids have worked diligently through a variety of long division ​problems this week.  They seem very confident and are scoring themselves high when we rate our understanding!  We have also done a little bit of review this week to prepare for the M-STEP test that will be right after Spring Break.  Next Wednesday we have our math fact tests and next Thursday is the retest for multiplication for those kids who are trying any standards over again.
BLOWERS WRITING:    
Students have been researching 2 websites for their biography report and adding in information from their book. This weekend I will be looking at everyone's notes for a 1st or 2nd time and giving feedback. They will begin a rough draft this week. We will complete biographies after Spring Break.

READING: with Mrs. Blowers
  We reviewed strategies and the proficiency scale for writing a nonfiction summary. Students summarized their article into a newspaper google document which made it a little more fun instead of the usual writing it out on paper! They added video clips, pictures and captions about their topic. I shared each newspaper to all students and they read each others articles. We began our new genre unit book, Sign of the Beaver. This is historical fiction and we are back to focusing on literature standards.

Reproductive Health: These lessons will continue through Tuesday. 

Spelling:     The Lesson 21 test was Friday. There will be no spelling test next week.
