Week of April 20-24


And our newest Leader of the Week is
 

Lily!!!

Lily is a sweet, cheerful, hard-working young lady!  She was selected as our Leader of the Week for her awesome use of the 7 habits.  She is particularly adept at putting first things first and being proactive.  No matter what the assignment, as soon as she receives it, she gets straight to work.  She is careful and pays close attention to her neatness and correctness in grammar and mechanics.  She is also a great listener who uses habit 5, seek first to understand, then to be understood on a daily basis.  Way to go, Lily!!
 
 
Economics Test
We will have a test over Economics this Friday.  A list of vocabulary will come home today.  This will be taped into your child’s agenda so he/she can study each night.

MAP Testing
We will have our last MAP test over Language on Friday.
 
Here’s what’s coming up this week.
ELA:  During ELA, we will be delving further into our final unit, Coming of Age.  During this unit, we will explore what it means to come of age or grow up.  We will analyze characters in books to determine how they come of age.  We will also explore how America came of age through events such as the Industrial Revolution and Westward Expansion.
 
Math:  We will continue to explore geometry this week with a focus on classifying polygons and quadrilaterals.
Social Studies:  We will wrap up our study of economics with our visit to BizTown, a review of what we’ve learned, and an assessment.
 
Have a great week!
