Hello Parents,
Yay! We finally made it to Spring Break! This week the students worked hard to test the first portion of Unit 5. Also, we started getting ready for MSTEP by learning to take notes when reading an article and then using the notes to fill out a graphic organizer to write an essay. Finally, students wrote a compare and contrast essay on two books with a common theme. If you want to read your student’s paper, look on Google Classroom under “Comparing Themes Essay.” Please take this break as a week to relax and reenergize for the last push of school before summer! Here is some information for the week after Spring Break: No School on Friday, April 7th, and Monday, April 10th. MSTEP Testing Dates:
Report Cards will be coming home today, Friday, March 24th. Grades are on Parent Connect. Check them out now, and please email me with any questions. Spring Break is From Monday, March 27th, to Friday, March 31st. I will see everyone back at school on Monday, April 3rd. Planners: Please sign the planner for every day! Math: We are on Unit 5, which is on Fractions with the four operations. Homelinks are on Google Classroom. Reading/Writing: Students will be getting ready for MSTEP reading and writing. We will read many articles and answer questions based on what we read. Also, students will work on various evidence-based writing (paragraph writing). Science: We moved on to our next Unit: Changes. We will be working in Science Groups, so students must work with other students on Science experiments and writing activities. Social Studies: Look on Mrs. Krayer’s Google Classroom for social studies for all assignments. Homework: No homework (If you can read four times during the week of Spring Break, then that would be great!) Parent to-do list:
If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected]. I hope everyone has a great spring break! Sincerely, Miss Vuichard
