Hope everyone had a wonderful and restful Spring Break! 

Here is what is happening this week...

Science: We are beginning to review science concepts to be ready for MAP testing. Part of fifth's grade Science MAP testing includes all concepts they have learned from Kindergarten. We will start reviewing these concepts during our science stations. This week will be going over the scientific method and apply it to a force investigation. 

Writing: We will start drafting and writing our DARE essay. Click here DARE essay  to learn more about the expectations for this essay. 

Math: We will be finding the volume of composite figures and problem solving. Today, they will get their study guide for our test. We will go over this tomorrow.  Our chapter 12 test will be on Thursday. Remember, each student should be working on ALEKS for 20 minutes each week at home. I could not be more proud of my class and their  determination and hard work they put towards their ALEKS's goals!!!

Reading: We are continuing to analyze, discuss, and answer higher level questions relating to complex passages and texts as we prepare for the MAP test.
