Math
We will be taking the unit 5 math assessment Tuesday, January 23 and the quarterly assessment on Thursday, January 25th. The remainder of the week we will be reviewing with both small group and individual reteaching and extension.Writing
We will be making our final revisions on our informational essay. This week we began to revise looking through the eyes of a scientist since we are writing about science topics. Our informational writing will not just be reporting on research we have made, but will also include cross cutting concepts and/or science practices to make connections between ideas and facts we are sharing.Reading
Book Clubs are going well. Ask your student about the book they are reading. Our Alex Rider readers are storming through their book at breakneck speeds. We are finishing up 2 weeks early with Point Blank and will be moving on to Skeleton Key. I think we have an Alex Rider fan club in the making!In small group, we are continuing to look at informational texts presenting the same or similar information and making comparisons between the two texts. Some of the comparisons include text structure, author's point of view, and use of text features.
Social Studies/ Science
We are still looking at patterns made in the sky. Next week we will look at constellations and moon phases and the patterns associated with them.
