Religion –We are continuing with our unit on the seven sacraments.  Students began working on their Google Slide presentations this week.  This will continue next week. We will be presenting these in class upon completing them.  We are asking that students include personal photos of themselves or family members receiving the sacraments.  Any photos you may have can be uploaded directly to your child’s google account. If it is easier to email them directly to your child’s teacher, please feel free to do so.  If your photos are hard copies, simply take a photo of the photo with your cell phone and email or upload it. Thank you! We will also have generic photos of the sacraments for any student who does not have a picture for any particular sacrament.  

Reading/Language Arts – We are continuing to work on our MLK unit.  We are pairing reading strategies with learning about an important historical figure and non fiction pieces of writing.  We will be writing an informative paper about MLK following the presentation of information.

Math –  You will be receiving your child’s assessment on Financial Literacy at conferences. We will be picking back up with Chapter 5 now that we are done with BizTown.  Studylink homework will resume. Please encourage your child to continue to work on his/her basic facts to increase accuracy and speed. Thank you!

More pics to come!

Social Studies - BizTown was a HUGE success.  We are so proud of all the students for conducting themselves in such a business-like fashion.  It is always fun to report that every business paid off all their loans and made a profit.  We will be debriefing Monday and watching the amazing video ads that were created.

Language Arts – Persuasive Letter Writing was taught this week.  Letters to the Editor were written for Biz Town. Students chose something they would like to see changed at school and developed a persuasive argument with reasons, examples, and evidence.  Students also learned about persuasive strategies used in commercials. Next week students will learn how reviews (book, restaurant etc.) are a form of persuasion as well. Prepositions will also continue next week.

 

Spelling – There will not be a Spelling list next week due to the short week with conferences.
