The students will be taking their first SOL test (reading) next Wednesday! They are working hard to prepare, so we have a little bit of a different week. Students are also expected to have completed Hungry for History Tests 1 and 2 by this Monday. Tests 3 and 4 are due next Monday. Please keep reviewing those cards. Finally, Field Day has moved. Field Day will be this Wednesday from 9-12. This is a change from previous years where it has been in June. Our class is wearing blue to show team spirit.
Here's what's happening this week:
Language Arts: A review of all skills. Last week, students took a practice test and Mrs. Kosanovich and I pinpointed what we needed to review. Two of the most missed questions were on using guide words in a dictionary and inferencing, so we will definitely hit those this week. There will be no spelling or word work this week. Students will also take another practice test on Thursday. I know they will do well!
Math: This week's focus is on probability and graphing. We are also continuing to review decimals, long division, and word problems. I have asked the students to practice any skills they feel they are weak on at home.
VA Studies: This week we will start our unit on Virginia in the 20th century. Look for a study guide for this unit coming home on Thursday. Hungry for History Tests 3 and 4 are due next Monday.
Science: Our unit on Living Systems will end on Wednesday with the Unit Test. Students will also be creating their new creature and its habitat on Tuesday. What a fun unit!
Assessments: Practice Math SOL (Wed, This will not be for a grade, but will help me plan for review for the next week and a half), Living Systems Unit Test (Thurs), Practice Reading SOL (Thurs)
