Educational Targets:

Math:

Students will continue unit 7, chapter 9 on decimals. The lesson this week will only include problem solving on money due to PARCC testing.

Science/ Social Studies:

We will continue working on research and a lapbook on a Native American tribe from a region of their choosing. All students will be either continuing work on their lap book or starting it.

Language Arts:

We are continuing our literature circles this week. We will meet to share our job that we completed for the designated pages that were read for the third week. Then they will receive a new job to complete with the next set of pages to be read. They will also be required to still complete work on this week’s grammar skill on articles and adjectives. The reading comprehension skill this week is sequencing. For writing, they will begin writing different types of poetry.
