ELA -- We started our literary unit on The Giver.  We read chapter one and students worked on an activity where they analyzed, summarized, and made inferences based on quotes from the text.

Math -- Based on Friday's quiz results, I did a review of comparing, ordering, and rounding decimals.

Social Studies -- Ms. Newton introduced our new Unit of Inquiry: Sharing the Planet.  

Announcements

Report cards and MAP results were sent home today.  I DO NOT need parents to sign and return the report cards... they are yours to keep.  If you have questions about any grades feel free to text, email, or set a conference time with me.

The field trip is this Thursday; if you child did not sign up to receive a sack lunch please remember to pack and send their lunch that day.

I am keeping track of books that students read (they must pass the AR test to receive credit for reading their books).  Some students are off to a great start and have already read 5 or more books. Several students; however, need to put in a little extra reading time if they are to meet their term & end-of-the-year reading goals.
