SPECIALS NEXT WEEK:
The Hype on History
We wrapped up our Civil
War studies with the unit
test today. Next week, we
will explore the period
following the Civil War,
Reconstruction.
We’ll then look at westward
expansion after the Civil
War.
Memos on Math
We will wrap up our studies of
Measurement next week with a
chapter review (not a test due
to the sporadic nature of the
chapter due to TCAP).
We will begin
Geometry
on Thursday.
We celebrated the
end of TCAP testing
with popsicles
outside on Friday.
Thank you for
making every effort
to have your child
here for testing 
Scoop on Science
We’ll begin our study of
flowering plants mondy with a
look at parts of the flower,
fertilization, fruits, and seeds.
We’ll rotate
classrooms through
3 labs (flowers, fruits,
seeds) on Friday.
Art is the Special
next week
Lots About Language Arts
Language: Students have
chosen an animal to research
(may not be an animal they have
researched in previous grades)
and will check out a book from
the school library Monday as we
prepare to research and write our
final report of the year.
Students are required to have
3 resources and are therefore
required to check out
additional books from the
school or public library
and/or print articles from the
computer at home. Research
and note-taking will be done in
the classroom and will be typed
on the netbooks in the classroom.
Spelling: List 24, suffixes next
week.
