Math - In math this week, we will have a test over chapter 19 on Wednesday. They should bring their textbooks home to help them study and review the lessons in the chapter. On Thursday, we will continue our study of geometry and review similar and congruent figures and study line and rotational geometry.
Spelling - This week will be a review week. The students will be tested on words that they have worked with throughout theme 4.
Reading - The reading strategy that we will be studying next week is summarizing. When reading passages, it is not necessary to recall every word. Instead, we will practice using main ideas and supporting evidence to summarize a passage. While reading, a good reader finds the main ideas, whether they are stated or implied. Then, the reader must find supporting evidence to support the main idea. This support may be in the form of details, examples, explanations or descriptions.
We will also continue to work on our extended reading responses. The students will write a response to their reading passage.
English - We will begin a new unit on adjectives this week. The students will identify adjectives and the noun they describe. They will practice elaborating sentences that using adjectives.
Social Studies - How has erosion shaped the South Dakota, Badlands? The students will describe the landscape and climate of the Badlands 67 million years ago.
Science - There will be a test over the Human Body on Tuesday of this week. The students should know:
