A Look at Next Week:

Social Studies- We will review Chapter 8 and take the test on Thursday.

ELA
Reading- Students will continue our unit, "Nature's Fury." Students will practice speaking and discussing in a group.  We will practice having discussions about "The Eye of the Storm."  Then students will have discussions based on their questions about natural disasters.
Essential Questions:  How does a force of nature that is far away, affect me?
How can a force of nature be both destructive and constructive at the same time?
What are forces of nature?

Word Work- Spelling:  Students will be studying Lesson 30, and will take a test on Friday.
Vocabulary-  Students will play word games on the iPad and Scrabble.

Language Arts- Students will make the final revisions of their narratives.  

Science- Students will continue to take Cornell notes on Lesson 12.3, "What Forces Shape Shorelines?"  They will hopefully take an open-note quiz on Lesson 12.3 on Wednesday.  

Math-  We will begin Chapter 8 on fractions.  We will go over Greatest Common Factor (GCF), writing fractions in their simplest forms, Least Common Multiples (LCM), and comparing fractions.  We hope to take a quiz on Lessons 8.2-8.6 on Thursday.  Students should already know these concepts from last year, we are just going to revisit them, and focus on areas students still need help on in order to make sure everyone has strong base knowledge.
