Ms. Zurales' Class News

ELA  We completed all 4 lessons about immigration. The study guide for the immigration unit went home today. It should be completed and returned on Monday. The chapter test will be on Wednesday. Students should be reviewing their book, notes, open book quizzes and study guide. Students will NOT be able to use their books/notes.

Don't forget to read for 20 minutes each night. February logs went home on Wednesday.

SPELLING  Homework (3 items on the menu, 1 from each column) is due on Friday, February 10, which is also the date of the test. 

MATH Ms. Zurales' math class will continue Multiplication, Division & Area. We are solving and writing multiplication and division story problems. There will be a multiplication and division checkpoint quiz on Thursday. A practice sheet will go home on Monday for the 4's multiplication facts. A 4's quiz will be given on Friday.

SOCIAL STUDIES  We are fortunate to have Mr. Blocker as our Junior Achievement volunteer. He will be in our classroom once a week, for five weeks, for 50 minutes. He will be discussing the characteristics of cities and how people and businesses in cities manage their money. In our first session students identified the different zones used in city planning and applied the information to organize businesses. Next week, in session two, students will examine the importance of money to a city and how people use different methods to pay for goods and services.
