Academics
In language arts, we are learning about pronouns, adverbs, and prepositions. Students will take a test over this unit on Tuesday, May 14th. There is a link to a LiveBinder we have created to help students review grammar on the right side of the blog. This is the same resource we used for our Verbs unit, and a tab has been added for this unit. We also resumed Wordly Wise #18, which will be due Thursday, May 9th. The test over Wordly Wise #18 will be Friday, May 10th.
Both reading classes have continued to work on their book contracts. Each day they complete an assigned portion of their book and complete a daily journal on what they read. After they finish the novel, students will put all of several activities together in a LiveBinder. We will guide them on how to do each step of this process in class, and time will be given to complete each part. All work related to the Book Contract will be due Thursday, May 16th.
In science, students are currently learning about space. We have wrapped up Chapter 16 over stars and galaxies and will begin to prepare for the upcoming test, which will be Friday, May 10th.

In social studies, students are wrapping up a their unit projects over a particular part of American history between 1787-1760. These projects will be due Tuesday, May 7th, when students will share their finished products with their classmates. We will then begin our unit over the Civil War.
Social Studies Enrichment Project
Students still have an opportunity to participate in the social studies enrichment activity. This project is very similar to the science enrichment opportunity Mrs. Jones offered in February. Students have a chance to research a topic relating to the Civil War and share their findings with some of their classmates on Friday, May 10th after school from 3:45-4:30. Students may choose any topic relating to the Civil War and can choose how they would like to present their findings. Snacks will be provided during this after school activity.
