Educational Targets:

Math:

Due to the two hour delay and the PARCC practice last week, we will be completing a few lessons that we intended on completing last week. We are going over 7.2, 7.6, review for the test on chapter 6 and a few lessons in chapter 7, another PARCC practice test, and the test. The two lessons this week are on writing fractions as sums and renaming fractions and mixed numbers.

Science/ Social Studies:

We are learning about government, specifically the branches, the levels, the constitution, Bill of Rights, and a few other concepts.

Language Arts:

Their reading comprehension skill this week is making generalizations  while we read leveled readers. The grammar skill is subject verb agreement and they will also be answering different writing prompts throughout the week.
