Homeroom Happenings:
Science - This week our focus will be magnetism. We will explore magnetic fields, electromagnets, and motors. The children will have an open book quiz on chapter 15, lesson 2 on Thursday.
Social Studies - We will continue working on our Desert Slide Shows. You will be able to view your child's slide show during our spring open house in April. Our 39-State Test will be on Tuesday. The children will need to know correct location and spelling of all 39 states in the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, and Southwest. Students can earn a bonus point for 10 correct capitals.
English - As ISAT testing quickly approaches, we will continue to work on our reading extended responses.
Spelling - This will be our last spelling test of second trimester. It will also be our last test with vocabulary words. We will begin spelling pretesting again in the third trimester. All words on third trimester tests will be spelling words.
Reading - This week, we will be using the predict/infer strategy, as well as cause and effect. Thinking about story events and personal knowledge helps readers predict likely events. With cause and effect, students will focus on why story events happen and what happens as a result.
