Classroom Updates for 2/25/19

Welcome back!

Reminders
Posters for the poetry cafe are due tomorrow. I  am seeing some great posters from what has been turned in so far! You are more than welcome to attend our poetry cafe on Wednesday from 9-10am.

This week is Read Across America.  Please see my previous post for the daily celebration activities.

Reading- Our unit on the American Revolution has gone really well.  The students love the American Revolution, which makes me super happy.  We have moved a little further ahead in our discussion about how a person's perspective influences their opinion and why it is important to respect each other's opinions.

Social Studies- We will move on from the slave trade on to Famous Presidents.  The presidents will not be on this test.

Math- We are moving on from adding and subtracting fractions to multiplying them. We will begin decimals by the end of the week.  Please note that many of the papers sent home/notes in the notebook are saying "study guide information".  These assignments contain problems that will be on the tests.  As always, students should study their notes nightly.

Writing- We are working on writing our rough drafts on topics about the American Revolution.  The rough drafts are to be completed in class, so you don't have to worry about them coming home for homework.

Here are the dates for upcoming tests for me:

Social Studies- Test for Homeroom= March 6 (weeks 12-14: Test questions will come from notes. (Chapters 12 and 14 repeat in many of the topics)
Social Studies for Mr. Mathews- March 7 (Retest March 13 & 14)
Math- Cumulative Test = March 11 (Retest= March 14) 


Here are the spelling test words for this week:
1.  Against
2. Scared
3. Throw
4.  Dependent
5.  Decision
6.  Shown
7. Reason
8. Certain
9. Judicial
10. Federal



The third quarter ends on March 15.

Thank you,
Mrs. Bruner
