Highlights for the Week of 2/27/12 in Mrs. Bell & Miss Johnston's Classroom
Spell
ing - Words with a Prefix or Suffix
This week's spelling lesson will focus on words that have prefixes and suffixes. The cursive/workbook pages OR challenge work will be collected on Friday, 3/2. The final test for the lesson will also be that day.
Reading
This w
eek, we will finish the poetry project by studying and writing the following types of poetry: Haiku, Cinquain, Five Senses, Color, Concrete & Who, What, When & Where. We will also take a look at hyperbole and onomatopoeia. In addition to poetry, we will be revisiting the predict/infer strategy as well as cause & effect. Thinking about story events and personal knowledge helps readers predict likely events. With cause and effect, students will focus on why story events happen, and what happens as a result.
English- Adjectives
The T
EST for chapter 4 of English (Adjectives) is scheduled for Wednesday, 2/29. Challenge work will also be collected that day. At the end of the week, students will take the pretest for our next unit of study, Verbs.
Social Studies
We will be taking a break from Social Studies this week in order to spend additional time preparing for the Science portion of the ISAT test. The next region that we will study in our journey across the U.S. will be the West.
Science - Electricity
Series and parallel circuits are two topics that we will investigate this week. Students will also learn about switches and conductors and insulators. Students had a lot of fun with the static electricity lab. Be sure to check out the pictures of some of them working at the end of the blog !
Mrs. Bell & Miss Johnston's Math Class - Customary & Metric Measurements
The chapter 22 TEST is scheduled for Tuesday, 2/28. We will spend the rest of the week preparing for the ISAT tests that will take place the week of 3/5.
Don't Forget...
February 28th - Early Dismissal - Students dismissed at 11:00
Science can be a "hair-raising" experience!
Which way will the balloon move?
