The Twelfth Week of 2012 at School:
Science: This week we will continue the study of space. Students will learn about the sun and the planets in chapter 10: lesson 3.

Spelling: This week we will work on spelling list 18. There will be a test on Thursday, April 5th.
Reading: Our class will continue to focus on nonfiction text (Science and Social Studies books). We will summarize and identify main ideas. In addition, we will be practicing our fluency with various reader's theater scripts. Each student will also choose 5 new vocabulary words from their Good Fit Books. They will learn the definition, find a synonym and antonym, and draw a picture to show the meaning of the word. Then they will be quizzed orally to determine if they have actually learned the word's meaning. Students will have almost two weeks to learn their new 5 words. They will be tested on their new 5 words on Thursday, April 12th.
English: This week students will continue to review capitalization and punctuation in chapter 5 of their English textbook.
Math: We will finish the study of fractions in chapter 18. There will be a chapter 18 test on Thursday, April 5th. Students should use both their textbook and homework pages to study.
There will also be a test on division by 7's on Thursday, April 5th.
