Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a nice Spring Break.  We have a very busy week this week!

Language Arts:  This week's skill focus is on summarizing.   Students will practice finding the main idea of a passage and 3-4 good details that support the main idea.  At home, students can practice summarizing what they read at night.  We will also be working on identifying the 4 types of sentences and will be starting a new writing prompt for the month.  There will be spelling and a weekly comprehension quiz on Thursday this week

Social Studies:  We are rolling along with our unit on Reconstruction.  Please continue to review notes nightly!  There is a section on my edline page of review activities.  There will be a test on this unit next Monday that will cover Reconstruction and the Civil War.  Finally, I am in still in need of shoe boxes.  Please donate them if you have them.

Math:  This week is a week of review as there is Quarter 3 testing this week. If there is a skill where your child is struggling (decimals, geometry, or fractions), please review this with them, in addition to the study packet that will be sent home Monday. We will also be starting our unit on measurement with this week's focus on weight.  
Special Notes:  We are going on a field trip this Friday to Colonial Williamsburg.  Please send in the permission slip by Thursday!!
