Language Arts: 

We are researching for our nonfiction reading and writing unit!  Soon you will see our final projects come home from this wonderful Social Studies and Language Arts combined unit! Kids did the best job!

Spelling:   This week's test will be on Friday and the game assignments are due on the test date.  If your child is ever absent for a Friday spelling test, it will be active online that morning and can be done at home.  Due to the large number of absences we have this Friday, we are giving kids a choice to take their test today OR Friday.  It is live online if you want your child to test at home.  NO NEW WORDS WILL BE GIVEN UNTIL MARCH 3RD. 

Week 16:  New words coming Friday, March 3rd!!

-OLT due 2/28/23 (Students will complete this assignment at home.)  Study your facts before taking the quizzes.  There will be a multiplication and a division quiz. 

-4+ iReady lessons must be PASSED this week by Friday. 

Please note:  We are going to jump to units 6 and 7 and complete those unit units before going back to unit 5 at the end of the year.  That way our student have experience with geometry and fractions before taking the M-step in the spring.

Social Studies –

-Teach a parent what you have learned about during your State research. How do geographers study the regions of the United States? Teach a parent about lines of latitude/longitude/map key/special purpose maps/scales and symbols/global grid/cardinal/intermediate directions/US regions

Science –

-Motion and Matter focus questions: What happens when magnets interact with other magnets and with paper clips?  How is the magnetic field affected when more magnets are added?  Ask your child what a force is and what the two types of forces are.

If your child ever has extra time and you want to give him/her something extra to do, i-Ready reading and math lessons are always there waiting for them in ClassLink!  We are going to try to work on them when we have time in class to earn time for games on Fridays.  Every lesson your child completes is beneficial!
