This Week’s AcademicsSpelling
We do have a 2-5-8 Menu this week. We also will be
practicing how we make singular nouns plural.
Reading
Today we continued reading the chapter book, Bridge
to Terabithia. Students should read chapters 8 and 9
tonight.
Writing
We are starting a small poetry unit, and we are also
reviewing the many parts of speech. This week we are
learning conjunctions. The most common
conjunctions are but, and, or. We will be practicing
conjunctions. We will also be writing haiku poems.
Haiku poems are three lined poems, and each line has
a set number of syllables. We will be writing poems
that include nature and help someone guess an
unknown object.
Math
We are reviewing several topics in Math this week.
Students need to make corrections to their math tests
and keep practicing their division!

We are wrapping up our unit on the Midwest Region.
Students will have a test over what they have learned
