Happy fourth quarter! Just 42 more days left until the end of the school year, and two weeks before AIMS testing begins!

Please note that in addition to regular homework, I will be adding another assignment. It is a current event based out of their Scholastic magazines that will be due on Fridays. Essentially, students need to write a half page describing what they read and give their opinion on it. I will go more in detail about the assignment this afternoon with the class.

This week and next week will be filled with review for the AIMS test. In math, we will review probability, properties of mathematics, and data analysis. In reading, we will read through poetry about different wars throughout history. In writing, students will write about a time they felt accomplished. In science, we will begin learning about our Solar System.

Spelling words this week are even more important than usual. They are the first 25 states in alphabetical order. Throughout this quarter, we will be studying the five regions of the United States. Students will be expected to know how to identify and spell all 50 states, their capitals, and postal abbreviation.
