February 11th through February 15th
On Thursday, February 14th we will celebrate Valentine's Day. When buying Valentine's Day cards, please do not pick out ones that include candy. Students will not be able to pass out any candy. Also, there are 25 students in the class.
The Sixth Week of 2013 at School:
Science: This week we will begin the study of space in chapter 10.
Social Studies: We will continue the study of chapter 3 titled People Move from Place to Place. Also, we will be celebrating Culture Day on Monday, February 11th, Tuesday, February 12th, and Wednesday, February 13th. Each student should be prepared to share something about his or her cultural heritage with the class. Students will not be able to bring in food to pass out due to allergies. Instead they can bring in pictures of food items.
Math: This week we will have a division by 3 test on Friday, February 15th. Students should be studying their division by 3 facts every night. Students will be studying chapter 15 (congruency and symmetry) and chapter 16 (solid figures) this week. Since they are both short chapters, students will have a combined test on chapter 15 and 16 on Thursday, February 14th. They will receive a study guide on Monday, February 11th.
Spelling: There will not be a spelling test this week. In place of spelling, students will learn about prefix, suffix, and root words. There will be a suffix graded review on February 15th. Students will be tested prefix, suffix, and root words on Friday, February 22nd.
English: We continue the study of adjectives. We will also study adverbs.
