Hello all! This is a very important week for the kids to “show what they know” on STAAR math (Tuesday) and reading (Wednesday). Parents can continue to support these efforts by providing a healthy breakfast, clean snacks (the kids know what I mean by this!), and a good night’s sleep prior to testing. I have also discussed excellent review resources to look over this weekend: math journal and folder (POD questions), Go Math textbooks, Think Through Math, Quizlet Vocab (link in last week’s blog), Math Antics Videos, reading folder (and previous practice passages), and blue reading workbook to name a few! We have worked very hard this year, and I feel confident that this group will do great! Also, please ask your child what they plan to “brain dump” on their test come Tuesday!
Math: On Thursday, we will begin to take a look at ratios and equivalent ratios. This video acts as a great introduction: Ratios
Reading: Book club groups wrapped up last week, so we will be getting started with our projects. A description of options will be given on Wednesday, and projects will be due on Monday, 4/3. Spelling and Quizlet quizzes will take place on Friday.
Science: This week we are continuing our unit on life science and adaptations. The students will explore different animal and plant adaptations. We will also be going over heredity and complete vs. incomplete metamorphosis. Study Jams has plant and animal adaptation videos that would be great to take a look at.
Social Studies: We will be continuing the Civil War… Students have their week 18 newspaper to take notes on as weekend homework (more great summarization and main idea practice!) We will review and have a cumulative test on the Civil War the following week.
