February 24, 2020ELA
This week in ELA we will be completing our poetry collection and taking our poetry unit test. Skills covered will include poem analysis, identifying poetry structure, and assessing the comprehension of various poems. We will also take our unit 6 grammar test which will cover nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions. It will also specifically focus on plural nouns. M/S/SS This week in math the students are reviewing addition and subtraction strategies. In science the students are learning about the lunar cycle and working to understand the phases of the moon. In social studies the students are reviewing the content introduced concerning historical figures and will take their test over this information later in the week. HOMEWORK Due to inconsistencies with the copier, we will no longer be assigning paper copies of the ELA homework during this grading period (which ends before spring break). While we do encourage 20 minutes of daily reading, it will not be graded. 20 minutes of Dreambox is still expected and will be taken for a grade. IMPORTANT DATES 2-28 Field Day
