Homeroom Happenings:
Spelling - We will take a spelling pretest on Monday. This will be the last spelling test of the second trimester. If your child misses 1 or none, they will become a challenge speller. Challenge spellers will need to complete a practice sheet and 3 activities. Regular spellers, that miss 2 or more on their pretest, will need to complete a practice sheet and 3 workbook pages. The tests will be on Friday. During 3rd trimester, children will need to have a perfect pretest to become a challenge speller.
English - Our pronoun test will be on Monday. Your child has many items in their English pocket that they may use for studying. We will not begin another English unit until after ISAT testing. Instead, we will be doing some writing activities. Each child will write a limerick. Also, we will complete one more extended response together.
Reading - We will finalize our reading ISAT practice early in the week.
Science - The children will take a chapter 15, lesson 2 quiz on Tuesday. We will then begin lesson 3, which is on Heat.
Social Studies - We will begin Chapter 8 this week. The children will learn about the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. We will also explore the idea of "taxation without representation."
Mrs. Sulima's Math Class:
Monday is our only day of math this week. We will be taking three sessions of ISAT math testing throughout this week. On Monday, we will finalize our math ISAT practice and look at some PARCC sample problems.
