Week of April 26-30

MATH:
Last week we were supposed to have our Math test of dividing with remainders, but due to the Earth Day assembly that went longer than expected, we had to move the test to this week. In order to give an extra day of review, I've scheduled the test for tomorrow (Tuesday).
Wednesday we will begin our next unit in decimals. This week we will focus on reading and writing decimals, decimal place value relationships, and ordering and comparing decimals.

Timed Test: This week will be division with 6 as a divisor.

Plato Testing: beginning this week, students will be completing the final Plato test during their computer periods - concluding next week.

SCIENCE:
Today was the last class period given to students to finish their science fair projects. This is also the last week that students get to work on their projects at all, because projects are due next Monday to homeroom teachers. Next Tuesday I will be handing them in to the Science Fair people. Judging will take place May 5-6 and the fair will be open to students and parents May 7th. All students have completed their projects and should be showing me their written reports so that I may check the spelling before they put the good copy on their boards. Information may be printed from the computer if I have already checked the rough copy of the report, then the printed sheets may be brought into school to be glued onto the board. Some students may need to stay at recess or lunch this week to finish.

SOCIAL STUDIES:
Today we reviewed last week's lessons on the landforms of the West. Tomorrow (Tuesday) will be the test. This week we will be learning about the resources of the West. Students will be quizzed Friday. All lessons have been taken from their Social Studies textbooks but turned into interactive editing handouts that students have been given. To study, please review these sheets.
