Highlights for the Week of 5/26/14
in Mrs. Bell's Classroom
Spelling - None
Reading - I Apply Reading Strategies
The date of the first meeting of our Peg Kehret Book Clubs is Thursday, 5/29. During the meetings, students will use their discussion sheets to guide the conversations about the books that they are reading. Students will take turns being the group leader, who is responsible for controlling the discussion. I will be observing two groups at each meeting, and students will be graded on the how well they participate in the discussion, and how well they listen and respond to others.
English-Adverbs / Pronouns
Due to the short week, we will not have a spelling lesson.

Students will be taking the pretest to qualify for challenge work for the Pronouns unit on Monday. We will begin the Pronouns unit with a look at "What is a Pronoun" & "Subject Pronouns".
Social Studies - The Tlingit
The native american group of the West, The Tlingit, is the next unit that we will study in Social Studies. Students will learn about the culture of the Tlingit in the past and present. They will create their own Native American masks at the end of the week, much like the Tlingit did in the past.

Science - What are the Types of Rocks?
Students will complete a lab that investigates properties of minerals. The properties that they will test include hardness, color, luster, texture, streak and magnetism. They will use their investigative skills to determine the identity of each mineral based upon their properties.
Mrs. Bell's Math Class - Perimeter, Area & Geometry
Students will take a QUIZ on lessons 1-2 of unit 13 on Tuesday, 5/27. This quiz will also include circumference, which is not in the My Math book. Students should review the work that we completed together in class to prepare for the quiz. The rest of the week will be spent focusing on measuring area (including circles), and how area and perimeter are related. Look for a TEST on Unit 13 to be scheduled the week of 6/2.
Don't forget...
May 26 - No School - Memorial Day
June 12 - Last day of school
