This Week is Spirit Week

 Look at Next Week:

ELA:  

Writer's Workshop:  We will also begin brainstorming different problems we have in our school community and different solutions to these problems.  We will fill out graphic organizers in order to help us think through our plan before we begin writing our explanatory text.

Reading Skills: Students will be discussing the parts of a short story:  characters, setting, conflict, rising action, climax, and resolution.  We will continue to read the story, "Captain Arsenio".  

Word Work: Students will be focusing on using context clues to help them with unknown words.

Math: Students will begin Unit 2 on fractions.  They will finish their spooky Volume Village, where they will make spooky buildings, out of 3 boxes, and find the volume of all their creations.  We will be looking at adding fractions with unlike denominators using the money and clock models.

Science: This week we will be learning about the properties of acids, and how to identify an acid.

Social Studies:  Students will finish their Chapter 4 review and complete an Aztec activity.
