Weekly Happenings:
Science - This week we will begin our Electricity Unit. Students should review their notes each evening. We will focus on simple circuit, static electricity, and current electricity.
Social Studies - We are moving on to the Southwest. The Southwest Map project will be assigned on Tuesday and due on Thursday. We will practice taking notes in an outline format this week.
Spelling - This week we will only have vocabulary words on our spelling list. You may begin practicing the following words: hoist, jubilee, unremitting, scruples, nudge, tranquil, rejuvenate, and eccentric.
English - We will continue our unit on Pronouns.
Reading - The reading strategy that we will be studying next week is summarizing. When reading passages, it is not necessary to recall every word. Instead, we will practice using main ideas and supporting evidence to summarize a passage. While reading, a good reader finds the main ideas, whether they are stated or implied. Then, the reader must find supporting evidence to support the main idea. This support may be in the form of details, examples, explanations or descriptions.
