Classroom Happenings:
Science - The children will learn about animal adaptations this week. They will have a chapter 3 lesson 1 quiz on Friday. Ms. Pluta will review with them on Thursday.
Social Studies - The children have been partnered up and are working on a state travel brochure. Each day this week we will be going to the computer lab to work on our brochures. If your child has a flash drive, please have them bring it each day. This will allow them to transfer graphics from one computer to another.
Accelerated Math - We will not be switching for math this week. Please have your child continue to look over the ISAT prep pages and extended response pages we have done in class. Also, each child needs a calculator for ISAT testing. If your child has misplaced their calculator, please send them with a new one on Tuesday.
Spelling - We will not be switching this week for Language Arts, therefore, we will not have a spelling lesson this week.
English - We will not be switching for Language Arts. Please have your child send or deliver Stanley if they have not already. Also, Ms. Pluta would like the children to work on their Flat Stanley stories. Please have your rough drafts complete by Monday, March 9.
Reading - We will not be switching for Language Arts. Please have your child review "Our Recipe" for writing a good written response. The directions include:
1) Turn the question around into your topic sentence.
2) Choose a text proof to support your topic sentence.
3) Interpret or explain in your own words.
4) Choose another text proof to support your topic sentence.
5) Interpret or explain in your own words.
**If you have time and you find a strong 3rd text proof, you could add that here with an interpretation.**
6) What I learned OR a general statement.
