Term 6 - Week 1-2 (Updated 4/17)

T6W2 Homework

Exhibition Mentors -- So far, two parents have volunteered to mentor Exhibition groups. Thank you to those parents!  That being said, the class needs at least THREE more parents to help out.  It requires one 45minute-1 hour visit per week to help a student group progress through the Exhibition process.   There was a mentor training last week; however, there's a manual and I can answer any questions you may have regarding the process.  The groups will be formed by this Wednesday and groups will be ready to meet this Thursday and Friday.  Please contact me if you are able to mentor a group.  PLEASE! 

ELA - We will continue our novel study by reading Son.  We will also continue working on informational reading comprehension by pairing current events with what we are studying in social studies.  We will also continue with vocabulary/spelling instruction.

Math - This term students will learn about problem solving with coordinate planes.

Social Studies - This term we will be covering U.S. history post-WWII to present.  Since it's a lot of information students should begin studying for the summative.  Students should also review the social studies concepts from past terms so they can review for the GMAS.
