Looks like another cold week for the Midwest. Due to the frigid temperatures I am not sure how often we will be at school this week. Hopefully the meteorologists are all wrong and we have a full week of school for the first time this quarter!
This week, due to all of the cancellations and delays, we will be continuing what we were working on last week.
In Social Studies we are working on Chapter 5 focusing on the 13 original colonies. The students received a study guide on Thursday which was originally due Monday. I am sure many of them did not take their social studies books home Thursday assuming we would have school on Friday, but I expect them to at least attempt to finish it on their own. I will not count it as late if they at least attempted it. The test for this is planned for the end of this week, but will depend on cancellations.
For Science we are working on electricity. They have been having a LOT of fun with this concept, so it will be sad to bring it to a close. The study guide for this will be passed out this week, and the test will be either at the end of this week or pushed into next week.
English is finishing up Unit 5 on Verbs. We are only working on the second half of the unit as we took a test for the first half at the end of the second quarter. They will also receive a study guide for this subject this week, and we will finish up the unit next week with the test.
Reading we will be meeting with our groups to work on inferring and theme. Centers will be working on opinion (persuasive) writing, inferring, theme, prefixes, and main idea.
As you can see, we have a lot of tests coming up! The students are receiving the study guides plenty of time in advance, though, so just looking it over for a few minutes every night will definitely help them out!
Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming up on February 6th and 10th. I would like all of the slips back, even if a conference was not requested, so we can start setting up times.
Have a great week everyone!
Mrs. Perkins
