5W Week of May 12th to 16th

Dear Students and Parents:

Here is a brief overview of our week:

Writing and Reading--We are nearing the end of our novel study, Underground to Canada.  Students will need to write a book report by Wednesday, May 14th.  Also, students will have a test on Thursday, May 15th. Students should review the chapter questions and answers in preparation for the unit test.

Math--We are continuing to learn about measurement.  Students are reminded to do two sets of twenty questions in the measurement section on the IXL website.  Remember to log-in as a "guest".

Social Studies--Today, we read a current events article about "West Jet".  We will continue to learn about government in Canada.

Science--We are learning about renewable resources like trees, fish, animals, and water.  Currently, we are reading pages 184-187.  We plan to finish Chapter 9 by the end of next week, then have a chapter test.

HACE and ART--Students are exploring and researching what future careers/jobs they would like to pursue. Students have designed their own original hats and are encouraged to find out the steps, training, education, and skills necessary to obtain their dream job.

Breanna wants to work with horses.
