Week of 5.27.19

Highlights for the Week of 5/27/2018
in Mrs. Bell's Classroom

Spelling - None 

Reading- Unit 2 - "Journeys" - A Poetic Journey
We are coming to the end of our novel study. I am so proud of the growth that I have seen in the reading skills of the students. Their ability to interpret and make inferences about text has grown in leaps and bounds from the beginning of the year. So many of them have told me that they love this book. Who would have thought that poetry could be so much fun?

An open book comprehension QUIZ for the novel Love That Dog is scheduled for Wednesday, 5/30.

English - Poetry

Students will write a personal poem of choice and create the cover for their books. Poetry books must be submitted on or before 5/29.

Social Studies - The West

The chapter 12 TEST in Social Studies is scheduled for 5/29. A study guide was sent home with your child.

We will also prepare for our classroom luau, which is the Western region feast, scheduled for 6/3. Students will learn about the history of the luau, make their own grass skirts and feast on the traditional luau foods of Hawaiian chicken, salmon, pineapple, Hawaiian bread, and Hawaiian punch! We will have fun hula dancing and watching the Disney film, Lilo & Stitch. 

Mrs. Bell's Math Class - Unit 7 - Division & Decimals
Dividing by powers of ten and multiplying decimals are our topics for the week. Students will take a Powers of Ten CHECKPOINT on Thursday, 5/30. We will finish the week with some enrichment work about circles.
