Week 28

This week in reading we practicing using 2 texts that are on the same topic to write about that topic. We are also on our last week of essays for homework. The Sports Essay is due this Friday and students will have Friday to type them during class. We will also be taking our Language Arts Test 9 this Friday.

This week for writing we are starting our Research Unit. We will be focusing on how to take notes and using notes to write our paper. Students will be researching an animal of their choice. They will need to use books as well as internet sources to do their research. This will be done in class.

In math we are finishing up our unit on multiplying fractions. On Friday students will be taking a test on how to multiply fractions by a whole number as well as multiplying mixed numbers/improper fractions by a whole number.

In Social Studies we will be talking about American Indians and the Pioneers as well as growing Utah after the Pioneers.

I will be at a Literacy Conference on Thursday and Friday. If you need anything, please email me!
