Reading
5th Graders will be taking end of the year Reading assessments next week. These do not require any special preparation or studying at home.
Language Arts
The students are so excited to continue working on their comic books using Comic Life. We are integrating so many technology skills along with all of the writing skills that it is quite challenging. Students need to have all illustrations completed and brought to class by Monday. These may be drawn or digital images saved to a camera memory card or a flash drive. We’ll work for the remainder of the school year on completing these comic books. It is very important that the students bring flash drives to use when saving their comic books. There is no spelling list or assignment this week.
Science
Students will learn how oxygen gets to the body cells from your lungs. They will discover how cells use oxygen to release energy from food. Students will also study the excretory system to learn how your cells produce and get rid of wastes. In Family Life, students will learn take a quiz on Chapter 5 & 6 next Tues. (6/8).
Social Studies
Next week we will have the Chapter 15 test on Wednesday. The students are very busy learning about the Bill of Rights and creating “Tableaux’s” (silent skits) to present about the amendments to the constitution.
Have a great week!
