English Language Arts



There will be a spelling test this Thursday, May 2nd. 

Grammar - We did not get a chance to look at comparative and superlative adjectives last week, so that will be our focus this week.

Reading - We will read a Biography this week and discuss the skill of cause and effect. The students will have an assessment on Friday, May 3rd. 

Make sure your child is continuing to work on their Book Tasting Project that is due Wednesday, May 8th. They need to pick up the template and place mat from me. 

Social Studies

This will be our last week using our Discovering Arizona textbook. We will work in groups to create game show questions based on the lessons we read.

The next few weeks, we will work as a "Family" (in groups) on a variety of projects that tie directly to our Junior Achievement lessons. We are collecting any unused coupons for the upcoming projects.

Math

We will add and subtract fractions using unlike denominators. The students will learn the strategies of number line and bar model to demonstrate this, but our focus will be solving them arithmetically (no pictures).

Science

We are continuing in our Nutrition module and focusing on studying food labels.

Religion 

Our focus this week will be on Mary and May Day.

The students will learn and pray Hail Holy Queen.
