What a fun week it was last week! Thank you for all the cards and yummy treats! The students and teachers had a wonderful time celebrating Valentine's Day. Friday also marked the 100th day of school. I can't believe that we are closer to their 5th grade year, than we are from the start of 4th grade. Where has the time gone?!
Chapter 5 Assessment
We are wrapping up Chapter 5- The American Revolution. I have scheduled the assessment for Thursday, February 23rd. We will spend next week reviewing for it.
Number the Stars
As we begin our Historical Fiction unit, I realized that I left off one of the books we will read. We will also be reading the book Rose Blanche. I will read this book aloud to the class next week. This is a short picture book to support our unit.
Historical Fiction
You will see that we are going to begin our unit on Historical Fiction this upcoming week. We will read Number the Stars by Lois Lowry and Blood on the River by Elisa Carbone. I will be reading these books one chapter at a time to the class. If your student would like to bring in their own copy to read and follow along they are welcome to. Sometimes reading and following along helps keep them more focused and engaged. You can buy a copy from Amazon or rent one from the public library.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
Reading: We will study Historical Fiction and read Rose Blanche and Number the Stars.
Math: We will continue working on fractions
VA Studies: We will review Chapter 5 - Revolutionary War. The test will be Thursday, February 23rd.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to a great week!
