Math This week we worked on calculating elapsed time, calculating temperature change,
and how to make a table to solve word problems. We ended the week by reviewing our topic. Monday students will take their topic test. Our next unit will be a breath of fresh air compared to
the last few we have had. Our next topic will be on inequalities and expressions. We will be back
to working on our addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills.

Reading

Next week we will not be doing a regular weekly reading story. Instead we will be
investigating mysteries! Students have showed an interest in mysteries as of recent, so I have
based next weeks reading plans around 5 of the biggest mysteries of all times: Amelia Earhart,
Bermuda Triangle, Stonehenge, Loch Ness Monster, and Bigfoot. We will work on citing evidence in
the text. It will be a fun week of investigating and theorizing!

Grammar With no new reading story next week and thus no new grammar skill, we will

spend the week reviewing the grammar skills we have covered so far: Punctuation, Subject/
Object Pronouns, Pronouns and Antecedents, and Possessive Pronouns.

Writing Students finished up and turned in state reports and powerpoints today. Next week
students will sign up for a day to present after break. Next week I will give students in-class
time to finish up their DARE essays which are due next Thursday. The essays were assigned
over 2 weeks ago. Students must turn in an essay in order to graduate from DARE.

Spelling NO SPELLING WORDS FOR NEXT WEEK!!!! Enjoy the break!


Social Studies This week we reviewed chapter 8 on the beginning of the Revolutionary
War and took the chapter 8 test. Next week we will begin the next chapter on key battles and
heroes of the Revolution.

Science We spend the week learning about food chains, food webs, and what roles decomposers play in the ecosystem. We will be spending our Science time next week doing a research activity. Students will choose an organism to create a powerpioint on. They must identify the organisms adaptations, habitat, role in the ecosystem, its food chain/web. This will apply all of
the skills we have learned about so far in this unit.

Note From the Teacher:


This week I sent home a packet regarding Camp Amigo. Please let me know if you are willing and
able to be a chaperone for our big trip. The cut-off for accepting parent volunteers is Friday, March
20. The adult cost of the trip is $26.45. Students do not have to pay to attend Camp Amigo this
year thanks to a donation made by Kyles Klass. All money will be due by Friday, April 10. In the
packet you will find a medical release that must be filled out for Camp Amigo. One side is the medical release, the other side is a picture release for Camp Amigo allowing them to include your child in
any pictures taken. The other page that must be filled out and completed is regarding lunch for
Thursday, April 16. Please read the packet at your earliest convenience and have all paperwork
filled out and returned by Friday, April 10. If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask!
DARE essays are due next Thursday. They were assigned by Officer Haskins nearly a month
ago. Students have had time in DARE to work on them. They must be turned in next Thursday in
order for students to graduate DARE.
