Miss Pellin's Post

April 14th to April 18th

Remember that there will be an early dismissal at 11 a.m. on Thursday, April 17th. Also, there will not be school on Friday, April 18th.  Please plan accordingly.  

The Thirtieth Week at School:
Science: As we continue to explore the planets in our solar system, students will be gathering information about each to display in a stand-up foldable project.



Social Studies:  There will be a Chicago Test III on Monday, April 14th.  Also, our class has been "hired" by a local travel agency in need of Chicago brochures. Each student will be designing a brochure which will attract visitors to Chicago. They are using their packets and books to choose topics to include in their brochure. 

Spelling: There will not be spelling due to the shortened week.  

Reading:  The fictional story which students read this past week, Two Days in May, was about white tail deer who were in a city.  This week students will research white tail deer.  

English: We will continue working in unit 5 on book titles,  introductory words,  and quotations.    

Math: This week we will finish the study of chapter 9 on Properties and Equations.  Look for a study guide to go home.  There will be a chapter 9 test in the week of April 21st.  Students should also review their multiplication facts (1-10).  There will be a mixed multiplication test on Friday, April 25th.  Students will need to complete 40 problems in 4 minutes.

Monday  4/14:  There will a Chicago Test III.
Thursday 4/17: Students will be dismissed at 11:00 a.m.
