Week 29

This week in reading we will be reviewing different reading strategies. Students will also begin taking part in Literature Circles. Students will begin reading chapter books with their reading groups and learning different "jobs" to complete with their reading. We will also be going back to spelling homework. This week's spelling list is Sort 45 . Students will again be expected to complete 20 points worth of spelling activities each week for their spelling homework.

This week in writing we will continue working on our Animal Research Project. Students have been using books to research their animal in class already, this week, they will use the internet as well to finish their research. Then they will start writing the draft for their report. Also, starting this week for the next 4 weeks, on Tuesdays we will be doing an in class essay to prepare students for their writing test in April. We will be preparing students for the test by spending one day working on an essay so that students will be ready to sit and write their entire essay the day of the test. Students are to complete the essay at school and will not be allowed to work on it at home.

This week in math we are starting our unit on decimals and relating them to fractions. We will be talking about finding equivalent fractions and their decimals.

This week in Social Studies we are talking about World War I and World War II and what it was like in Utah at those times.
