This Week in 5A

We will be continuing our study of wishes. We are also starting a lengthy examination of life science. The material should't be that difficult but some of the language will. When we get heavily into it, I will curtail the vocabulary for a while because there will be a lot of new science words. We should be studying life science for at least a month or two. Any parents with knowledge of gardening please make yourselves known. I could use a hand with a project.

Our essay topic will be a rewrite of last week's intial topic.

We will have homework on Monday. The students will complete an Encyclopedia assignment about one of our new students (Iyad and Ameed). They will complete a story web and then write the story.

On Tuesday students will have reading homework. They should read pages 8-25 in their science books. This will not be exclusively new material but we are moving more in depth with our study of life science.

On Wednesday the students should spend the evening finalizing their knowledge of the new words.

All these assigments are subject to change depending on the pace of class, how students perfom on assignments, if I have a headache, etc.
