What's happening this week and next!

I hope everyone is having a great week.  We have lots going on this week and next....

Reading:  We are looking at character traits in a story.  We are using graphic organizers to organize our thoughts and also looking for evidence that supports the character traits we find.  Next week we will look at elements of non fiction.

Math:  We are continuing to work on reviewing concepts from last year.  This week we looked at finding differences and working with money.  Look for test dates in the assignment notebook next week.  We will pass out a study guide 2 days before the test.  More information to follow next week.

Writing:  We have started our WEX lessons and are working on showing details.  In grammar we are working with different types of sentences.

Social Studies:  We are continuing to work with maps.  We are discussing hemispheres, using grids, scale, and types of maps and the information they give us.

MAP testing:  Next week we will have our MAP testing sessions.  We are scheduled for Tuesday for math and Friday for Reading.
