See you on Monday!
Math: The re-test over Fraction Computation was a success. We continue to work on changing fractions into decimals and percents. Students put together small surveys and calculated their results as decimals and percents. Ratios and proportions are next.
Religion: This week we finished our Stations of the Cross booklets, discussed Holy Thursday, and Good Friday. They watched a movie about the Passion and the whole school watched a reenactment of the Last Supper. Each class had their hands washed as a symbol of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet and each were given bread and grape juice (instead of wine).
Reading: We are now on Chapter 10 of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
At the close of the novel, students will have their choice of projects to complete.
English: We continue to have DOL each morning, write in our journals a couple times each week, and use grammar (identifying parts of speech, subject verb agreement, etc.) to improve our writing. We will finish the year with one more writing piece which we’ll probably wait until after ISTEP to begin.
Vocab: Our vocab book is complete. We will continue to have some review assignments each week just to practice finding and using more interesting word choices in our writing.
Social Studies: Continuing with the Revolution (Ch. 10).
Science: Experiment on durability of different brands of paper towel.
Other Info:
* We were honored as the best marching school in the St. Patrick’s Day parade! The kids were rewarded with an ice cream snack and our
school was presented a plaque!
* A BIG thank you to Mrs. Walton and WRTV 6 for having our class to their station for a behind the scenes tour and to view a live broadcast. What a neat experience!!
* ISTEP Part II (multiple choice) begins the week of April 27th – we will be reviewing and preparing during the next two weeks.
