I hope everyone had a relaxing and fun filled Mardi Gras Break! Here is what we are covering this week.
Math:
We will continue on with chapter 7 on fractions and probability. The unit test will be wither the 27th or the 28th. There will be an adding and subtracting fractions quiz on Tuesday, February 19th.
English:
We will be breaking down subjects and predicates into simple subjects/predicates, and complex subjects/predicates. There "might" be a quiz on Friday. Ask about our grammar heroes.
Reading:
We will begin Unit 7 this week. The comprehension focus is setting and our visual tool is a flow chart. A study guide with process questions and pattern statement will be given to students this week. February book project instructions have been given. The book should be a fable or or tall tale. DUE DATE: Thursday, February 28th.
