Reading: We started "The Lightning Thief" this week :) We've had a lot of fun talking about different aspects of the book and completing a Discipline Referral form for Percy Jackson. Be sure to ask your student about the activities we're doing with this great book!
Writing: We finished up our snowflake personifications and they look wonderful hanging up in the hallway! We did a lot of writing with "The Lightning Thief" this week. Students did a good job writing about their reading and making sure they had all the components on the rubric.
Spelling/Vocabulary: Test was today. Next week is the last week of vocabulary words that will be on the unit test. Please remember to be studying your words at home!!! The unit vocabulary test will be on Jan. 28th!
Math: The students were tested on Multiplying Fractions. We took a little longer studying this concept as it is hard for the students to grasp why the rules are different from adding and subtracting fractions. We will divide fractions next week. Our fraction gardens turned out beautiful and are hanging in the hall for all to see.
Science: The class has really enjoyed learning about microorganisms and has been able to do some fun experiments. This week they swabbed different places around the school to see which areas will grow the most mold.
**They will have their end of unit microorganism test next Wednesday!
