MATH: Students tested on Dividing Fractions and we began our Measurement unit. This is where we explore converting units in the customary and metric systems. This can be frustrating and difficult for students so any reinforcement at home would be wonderful.
ELA: In ELA this week, we continued reading our class novel, "The Watsons Go To Birmingham." We analyzed how a character's traits can change based on the setting of a story and we also utilized context clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words.
SOCIAL STUDIES: No Social Studies this week. Next week we will start the end of World War Two.
SCIENCE: We learned about chemical and physical changes in our lives. Students made a project in class using items they see in their home as chemical/physical changes. We had an EdPuzzle on this topic as well for a daily grade.
BENCHMARK TESTING:
Our 3rd nine weeks benchmark tests will be on Tuesday, March 29th and Wednesday, March 30th. These ELA and Math assessments test students on the material taught for the third nine weeks so we can get an idea of where they are. Teachers will use this data to inform our instruction for the remainder of the school year.
