April 22 - April 26 News!

Spelling:
 Our spelling words next week will be on contractions and idioms. Our test will be Friday, April 26. 

English/Reading:
We will be finishing up Edward Tulane next week.  The students have really enjoyed this book.  We have had some good conversations about the book.  We made an Edward Tulane project today that will be hanging up on their lockers.  

Social Studies/Science:
  We are continuing to work on Chapter 10 in social studies on the Southwest region.  We are finishing up the energy unit in science in the next 2 weeks as well.:)

Math:
  You should have seen your child's area and perimeter quiz come home yesterday.  I stapled the quizzes together if I had them redo it for more points, so you can see how they improved.  Next week we will finish up unit 6 and have a tentative unit 6 test on Monday or Tuesday, April 29 or 30.  Will let you know depending on how we do next week.
 
Important Info:

We finished IAR testing!  The students did a great job!  Thanks to all the parents who helped out with making it successful!
