T6W5

Thank you for the thoughtful, tasty, and generous gifts for teacher appreciation week.  This year's class is such a great group of kids.  I've enjoyed this year and it's hard to believe it's almost over!

That being said, here's this week's homework.  ; )
Vocabulary - quiz on Friday


Upcoming Events
Wednesday, May 10 @ 9:00am --- Trip to Renfroe
Thursday, May 11 - Monday, May 15 --- MAP testing
Wednesday, May 24 @ 1:00pm - 2:30pm --- Moving Forward Ceremony & Exhibition
Math - This week students will learn how to plot points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane.  We will also begin working with probability towards the end of the week.


ELA - We are about halfway through our novel, Son.  Hopefully we'll finish before the end of the year.  Students have been putting their research and note-taking skills to good use for Exhibition.  They're working really hard to make sure their projects are detailed and informative.

Social Studies - Last week we read about The March on Washington, the Birmingham protests, and John F. Kennedy's assassination.  Students also read excerpts from Dr. King's Birmingham Jail Letter and inquired into his perspective about the process of non-violent action, the impact of bystanders, and the damage that racism does to a democracy.  An extension has been provided for students who want to explore his letter more deeply.


Spanish Update
Queridas familias de F.AVE,


Though it is difficult to believe, we are rapidly approaching the end of our school year!   During the week of May 15 -19, students will complete their Spanish, end of year assessments.  


Please be on the lookout for our mid-term vocabulary quiz in the red communication folder.  It is very good indicator of your child’s progress this term and which areas he or she may need to work on before the end of term assessments.  


And as always, for extra, at-home review, please visit our Quizlet page and practice Term Six activities:




¡Gracias!  
Maestra Wagner
