With a sigh of relief, the MAP test is over! Overall, I feel that the students did a great job, and tried their best. Scores will not be released until next school year. I know it is a long time to wait. I am anxious already!
With three more weeks left, we still have some things to cover.
In Math, we are moving on with deeper fractions. On Monday and Tuesday, we will be adding and subtracting mixed numbers. On Wednesday and Friday, students will multiply fractions by whole numbers. All of the lessons for the rest of the year will be out of a Common Core Standards book. We have copied the lesson and the practice, so please refer to the lesson if your child needs any assistance on their practice problems.
In Science this week, we will discuss chemical changes, changes in energy, how light behaves, and sound. All of these lessons will have a study guide with pages numbers to the correct answers.
In English Language Arts, students will begin their Famous Missourian Project. This project will be introduced on Monday, as well as assigning Missourians. We will spend the rest of the week researching and applying our researched information to our Folder Project. Each student will have a very detailed description of what each section of the folder entails.
In Reading, we will continue our work with poetry. Students will work on a Color poem and a "Heart" poem. They will then have work time towards the end of the week, and we will share our poetry next week.
On Thursday, we will have our "Read-In" day. This year's theme is camping. We will spend our day reading and relaxing. A note with more detail was sent home last week.
