Weekly Objectives:

Writing:  We will continue working on our fourth writing unit: Persuasive Speeches, Petitions, and Editorials. Students have done an awesome job finishing up their persuasive speeches and they are ready to present them this week!  

Reading: This week we will continue working on our reading unit: Mysteries!  The class is very excited about this!  We will be focusing on making predictions and summarizing as we read.

Math: This week we will finish Chapter 9: Properties and Equations.  Our test is on Tuesday.  Study Guides are coming home today!   Please let me know if you have any questions!  I placed a picture of the two math charts we have been using in this chapter on the blog in order to help as your child studies for their test Tuesday!

Science/Social Studies: Due to many events happening during our social studies and science time over the next few weeks (Jump Rope for Heart, Valentine's Day party, Strings Assembly, etc.) we will not be starting another social studies or science chapter until the end of the third quarter.  Instead, we will be taking this time of the day to review the reading and math Galileo tests in order to make sure we are remembering concepts and skills that we have previously learned!

Have a great week!
