Spelling- The students will be working with words that have the sounds of  /k/, /ng/, and /kw/.  The students will be responsible for completing the workbook pages 9-11 in Volume 2 .  If they passed the pretest with 95% or better, they will work on alternate activities.  There will be a test on Friday.

Math-There will be a test on Thursday over chapter 5.  The students may bring their books home and complete any pages that we did not do in class for extra practice.  They should study all the skills from the pages that they have in their math folders. Please continue to have them study their math facts over the holidays.  It is so important that those facts stay fresh in their minds.

English - We will continue to work on expository writing this week.  We will focus on the use of details to explain their ideas.

Reading - There will be a test on Wednesday this week, over the biography of Lou Gehrig which will have questions similar to what they will see in the PARCC assessment. They will also be tested on the 10 vocabulary words that we have focused on in this story.  They will need to know and understand the meanings of the words and be able to write them in  good sentences.  The sentences should show that they understand the meaning of the word as used in the story.  They can use their Google Classroom.  There is a  Quizlet to help them with the definitions.

Social Studies-   We will have a quiz on chapter 7  lesson one, The Cherokee on Friday. We will also have  a Taste of the Southeast Day on Friday.  If anyone can send in the following items to be here at school on Thursday, please let me know.
