Week of April 10-14

Language Arts

This week, we will continue with our cross curriculum Science support unit.  We will be reading about Slithery Snakes and completing several activities on Monday and Wednesday. Friday is Good Friday, and we have no school.  If your child has taken home their "purple" reading book, please have him/her bring it to school.  We will be using them for majority of the rest of the school year.

Homework


Homework will be given on Monday and due on Wednesday.  Please make sure your child continues to read each evening and records their completed books on their reading logs. Reading Logs will be due on Friday, May 19th along with their project (each for a major grade).

Social Studies

This week we will be discussing lesson 3 of our Ch. 10 unit on Expansion.  In this lesson, we will be learning about the struggles the American Indians faced to survive.  Students will be creating a mock interview with an American Indian living on a reservation gathering information of his/her views on the law of 1885.  

On Tuesday, the students will be given a study guide for the Ch. 10 test which will take place on Thursday, April 20th.  Due to the Science release STAAR, we will continue to finish Ch. 10 on Tuesday, April 18th.  Please make sure your student is studying for the test in the mean time.

Homework will be to study for the test.
