This Week in 5A

We will finish up the Spin work on past wishes that we didn't get to last week

We will conclude our leaf dramas and begin stems and roots. We will also cover flowers and their functions.

We are deepening our understanding of plants but we are also learning about extracting information from a reading passage and organizing it differently.

We will write this week's essay on our families. We will take our last group of words for this semester. (there won't be words while the students are studying for Arabic exams)

We are going to work on self-editing, both with our essays, through homework and a few other exercises. Looking at your own work and being able to discover and correct your own mistakes is an important skill.

Our high and medium groups will begin work in the 3.2 Scott Foresman book (we are a few weeks ahead of schedule there) and the lower group will begin 3.1.

There should be reading homework a couple times this week and editing homework once.
