Current updates:
Language Arts
We have finished our report / narrative writing about our biographical figures. We are currently working on choice reading / writing assignments. Students are working independently and are asking for and signing up for lessons which they feel are important to their learning. It is going very well.
After SBACs, students will begin new book groups. This is a science fiction unit. The books that students could choose from are the following:
The Giver by Lois Lowry
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM by Robert C. O'Brien
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl
Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns for your student.
Our writing will continue in as above.

Next week, we will be taking the SBAC test Monday-Thursday mornings with makeups on Friday. Students will not have homework during this time. Students will be having a later lunch this week, so please send them in with a snack. We will not have Math and Language Arts this week.
Integrated Studies
This week we started our studies on the Revolutionary War. This will help us get ready for our walk on the Freedom Trail when we take our trip to Boston. We will also be doing Science lessons that will help us get ready for our visit to the Aquarium and Museum of Science.
More about Boston in our next letter!
Math
On Tuesday, we started our Pre-Algebra unit, beginning with graphs and tables. After SBAC week, we will continue by looking at the relationship between tables, graphs, and equations.
