ELA We are beginning our final ELA unit which will focus on "standing up for what you believe in." We will read the novel The One and Only Ivan. It will be used as our anchor text.
Leprechaun traps are due on Thursday, March 16th. Students should fill out the Leprechaun planning page in Google Classroom or the paper planning sheet by March 16th as well. I look forward to seeing the students' traps.
We will continue learning about Chicago. We will discuss the Industrial Boom and the Great Chicago Fire. Students will be making a flip book about the Great Chicago Fire.
Don't forget to read for 20 minutes each night.
SPELLING We had a test today. Homework (3 items on the menu, 1 from each column) is due on Friday, March 24, which is also the date of the test.
For trimester 3 each spelling activity will be worth one point instead of two. A greater emphasis of the third trimester ELA grade will be placed on reading comprehension and writing while still including points geared towards spelling.
MATH Ms. Zurales' math class - students will build their understanding of polygons. There will be a checkpoint quiz on polygons and quadrilaterals on 3/17. The practice sheet for the 11's multiplication facts will go home on Monday. A 11's quiz will be given on Friday, March 17.
SCIENCE We will wrap up Chapter 10, by researching a planet with a partner. The Unit Test will be on Tuesday, March 21. Look for the study guide to come home this week.
