Mrs. Burland's Bulletin
March 11th through March 15th




The class enjoyed the Junior Achievement Program with Mr. Blocker. The picture above shows the students building a city based on zones. 
                                                       
The Upcoming Week at School:
Reading:  Please make sure to look at the letter that was sent home about Culture Week! In a nutshell, this is what is expected from each student:

1. Pick any 3 chapters and practice reading them. Students will read these to the class.
2. Make something that shows your connection to the country (slide, poster, index card, video).
3. Bring in 2 items that represent your country (ie: music, food, instrument, pictures, book, souvenirs, flag photo, etc.)

I look forward to hearing each student present on their assigned date (3/11, 3/12, 3/13, 3/14, or 3/15). Students received a paper copy of their chapter books, so they can practice their presentation. I will be printing colored copies and binding them into books.

Spelling:  We will be taking a short break from spelling for the next week and will focus on prefixes and suffixes!  Students will receive a prefix/suffix study guide on Monday, March 11th. There will be a prefix/suffix quiz on Friday, March 15th. 

Math:  We finished the study of unit 5 on Geometry and Measurement. The unit 5 study guide is due on Monday, March 11th. The unit 5 test will be on Tuesday, March 12th.  Then we will begin the study of unit 6 on multiplication, division, data, and fractions. We will have a divide by 12 timed test on Thursday, March 14th.  They will have two minutes to complete 26 problems.  

Social Science: In social studies, we will begin the study of Chicago. 

Things to Remember:
Monday 3/11:  Country presentations will begin.
