A Peek at this Week

 ELA:

Reading- We will begin a close read of the poem, "Here's to the Kids who are Different." We will be focusing on author's purpose and will be writing a R.A.C.E.S. response.  We will also review ways to use context clues to help us discover the meaning of unknown words.

Word Work- We will continue to work with our second list of word work word parts: alter, anti, bi, geo, ology, and script.

Writing- We will continue to work on coming up with ideas to write about and building our writing stamina in our Writer's Notebook.


Math:  We will focus on finding volume and solving word problems.  Students will be taking a Multiplication and Volume Checkpoint on Friday.

Science:  We will begin investigating our Chapter 2 question:  Why is the sun up sometimes, but not other times?"  Students will be looking at patterns in the night sky by using the online simulation.

Social Studies:  We will continue to discuss Lesson 4.2, "Different Worlds Collide."
