Weekly Update 3/9-13

Good Afternoon!

We had a blast on Friday! Check out the post below for pictures from our reenactment.
It's our last week before Spring Break...but you couldn't tell from this crummy weather.
Here is a look at our week ahead...

Reading
We are going to film our reader's theatre performance tomorrow. Each student has a specific costume (colored shirt and jeans) that they need to wear tomorrow. Please check with your child tonight to make sure they are ready to go in the morning. We will spend the rest of the week reading different scripts and analyzing characters. Don't forget to use this link to practice your drama vocabulary.
Looking for extra reading practice? Don't forget to utilize iStation at home.

Writing
It's time for Writing University here at Elsa England! Every day students will rotate to a new teacher to practice a specific writing skill. Today, we reviewed quality introduction strategies in our homeroom. I posted an extra credit assignment and our spelling homework in Google Classroom.

Math
We will have a math assessment on Friday. Students will need to be able to organize data and answer questions about data. Here is a link for some extra review at home. Don't forget to check out our math page for even more practice.

Science
We will have a science assessment on Thursday. We are going to spend the next few days reviewing what a circuit needs to form a complete path, insulators and conductors of electricity, and the difference between open and closed circuits. Students can practice their vocabulary using this link. Don't forget to check out our science page for even more practice.
