Math-We will review along with PARCC testing all week.
Spelling-The students will be working with words that have unusual spellings this week. They will be responsible for workbook pages 213-215 in volume 2.
ELA-We will begin a novel study of the book Love that Dog, by Sharon Creech. Love that Dog is a free verse poem written in a diary format. It is written from the perspective of a young boy who resists poetry assignments from his teacher. Throughout his journey, he learns to appreciate, and to even enjoy, the art of poetry. As we read this book, we will continue to examine the literary elements of poetry, and students will create their own poetry book.
Science-We will begin a unit on Simple Machines this week. The students will understand work from a scientific perspective. They will also understand what a simple machine is. They will investigate levers and be able to explain how a lever changes the way work is done.
Social Studies-The students will describe how the Grand Canyon was carved out by erosion caused by the Colorado River and how it continues to shape the Canyon today. They will understand why the Grand Canyon is a National Park today
