Ah, Back to Normal!

MAP testing is now over, and we get to breathe a collective sigh of relief. My students worked very hard on their MAP tests and took it very seriously. Thanks for your hard work!

So now that we're back to normal, here's the weekly outlook:

Spelling- Unit 23 - We're studying the /qu/ sound.
Math - Chapter 26 - Decimals
Social Studies - Chapter 8 (Economics) - we will have Junior Achievement joining us next week to learn about entrepreneurship.
Science - Earth Science - Rocks, Landforms, Changes on the Earth's Surface - We are using a rock tumbler to observe weathering, and we are studying horizons of soil and the rock cycle affects our soil.
Reading - Book Clubs continue into the month of May. We will focus on fifth-grade curriculum, so students are prepared for the beginning of their fifth grade year.
Writing - We are creating lines to read at our Famous Missourian History Museum. Date TBA.
