Week 30: 4/10 – 4/14

Welcome back from break!

Our schedule is going to be a little wacky this month as we prepare for the M-STEP state testing the first week of May.  We will be doubling up on our math so that students are exposed to all content before the testing begins.

This week…

Morning Math: We will be wrapping up fractions and decimals this week.  Tomorrow, Tuesday, will be our review test, we will reteach concepts on Thursday, and will take our final make-up test on Friday.

ELA: We will be working on reviewing ELA skills in preparation for M-STEP.  This week’s focus will be on reviewing genres and beginning to use the RACE strategy in response to a close reading of a passage.

ScienceWe will continue to pilot our unit on energy as we explore the effects mining has on natural resources.

Afternoon Math: We are beginning geometry this week, focusing on angles.
