Be on the look out for Homeroom Conference sign ups. They will be sent by e-mail this week.
Math- The students will review definitions for volume and capacity and identify containers that approximate benchmark amounts. The students will explore the relationships between liters, milliliters, and cubic centimeters and convert between liters and milliliters. The students will also examine the relationships among place values and make generalizations about what happens when a number is multiplied by 10, 100, or 1,000.
Students may go in their Math Google Classroom to play other games that I have set up for them on multiplication facts and measurement.
Spelling- This week the students will be working with other words that have long and short vowel sounds. They will be responsible for workbook pages 99-101, unless they are in the pretest group. If they are in the pretest group, they will use an alternate list of activities to complete with their alternate words. There will be a test on Friday.
English- There will be a test on Tuesday of this week over chapter 5 - Punctuation and capitalization. The students have an assignment this weekend to help them practice the skills from this chapter. They can also use the other review pages in the back of their chapter to help them practice as well as on their Google Classroom- The proof reading lessons and the Time for Kids practice activities.
Reading- In reading this week, we will continue our courage theme by studying the life of Gloria Estefan. They will be introduced to new vocabulary, and complete the vocabulary activity in their Google Classroom. The skill they will practice is Making Judgments. Making judgments involves deciding whether or not a character's actions are appropriate for a situation. They will also work with answering and writing text dependent questions.
Social Studies- On Wednesday, there will be a quiz over The Narragansett People, Chapter 5 lesson 1only. The students should know all vocabulary and be able to answer questions about their culture and know at least 3 ways their life changed after the Europeans moved in. They should understand the Great Council's role in the Iroquois Confederacy.
