What's happening the week of September 8-11

What's happening...

Weekly I will publish what is happening for the week ahead.  It will not be an exact listing of assignments and due dates, that can be found on Cornerstone, but just a general idea of what we will be doing and any tests or projects that may be coming.


5th grade Language arts:
     Spelling:  We will be working  on pages 14-17 next week.  We will take the pre-test on Tuesday.  The pages and final test will still be on Thursday.  Your student will have some study hall time on Tuesday to work on the assignment.
     Grammar:  We will be working with compound sentences.  On Wednesday we will work through pages 13-14 together in class and page 15 will be assigned.  On Thursday we will look at page 16 and they will need to re-type that page for Friday.  Friday will be the weekly quiz.
     Literature:  We will still be reading through our novel Maniac Magee.  On Tuesday they will finish a journal we started today on Google Classroom.  It will be due Wednesday.  We will work on vocabulary words on Thursday and possibly take Quiz #2 on Friday.  We will also complete the "Candy Bar Craze" activity.  It will be due on Friday.


5th grade Social Studies: We have finished chapter one.  The 3D U.S. maps are up in the hallway.  Hopefully they will stay 3D at least for next week!  Students will get the chapter test back on Tuesday and we will go over the correction policy.  (The policy is stated on the blog under social studies).
We will be moving on to Chapter 2 about Native Americans.
Look for upcoming information about our exciting group project for this chapter!


6th grade Literature: We are still reading together True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by AVI.  Ask your student about it!  Next week they will complete a journal they began this week and turn in.  We will continue to work on vocabulary and take Quiz #2 on Thurs./Friday.  They should have turned in or be ready to turn in their sketch of the Seahawk which focused on the book's setting.  This week we will focus on the characters.

Hope to see everyone on Tuesday night.  We will go over many aspects of the classes as well as Cornerstone and other exciting events new this year.  I will share a syllabus with you for each class.

Have a blessed weekend!
