Writing
We'll continue with our special Grandparents Day writing assignment that the students will present to their Grandparents/ Special Friends on Grandparents Day. Please indicate to your student how many visitors you expect them to have and who is coming.
Reading- The students are really enjoying Hatchet so far. They've formed their tribes, created tribe flags, and even had a couple of challenges. This week Tribe Keeseekoose took the lead. They're going to be the team to beat. This week we'll have a short quiz on Chapters 1-4. We'll also be reading chapter 5 in class.
Science- We'll be wrapping up Chapter A 2 this week. We will not have a test on this chapter, but the students will take a short open notes quiz over the chapter. We'll also cover a few brief smart board lessons on force and work this week prior to standardized testing.
I'm praying that you'll all have a safe and fun spring break!
Have a super duper week!
