They say, “April showers bring May flowers.”  Well, on this dreary Monday morning I can only hope that these final damp days of April will help to produce beautiful buds by the end of the week!  While last week was very busy and activity packed, this week will be a week of preparation for the NJASK, wrapping up novels, and prepping our room for test week.  Here are our objectives for this week and how you can help support learning at home:

Reading:  This week we are working with identifying important information in non fiction texts, relating events to each other, and identifying text structure.  Each night your child will have a recap of the lesson as well as a test prep worksheet to complete.

Grammar:  We are working on editing sentences for capitalization, commas, and apostrophes.

 Vocabulary:  This week we are working on using figuartive language phrases correctly. 

Math:  We will be wrapping up decimals on Tuesday with a test on Wednesday.  After that we will be reviewing Geometry which is very vocabulary based instead of computation based.

Science:  We are continuing work with our Body Encyclopedia in class.  \
