Reading:  We  will continue to read The Miraculous Adventures of Edward Tulane.  The students are completing journal response questions as we read through the chapters. The focus is making sure text evidence is provided in their response as well as answering the question completely.

English:   We will focus on adjectives in our writing this week. We will also learn the correct way of ordering adjectives when describing a noun. 

Spelling:  Unit 23-  Words with "oi" and "oy" & Proverbs
 This week's list includes words with the letters "oi" and "oy". Students will learn that these letter combinations make the same sound and are both diphthongs. "Oy" is usually found at the end of a syllable and "oi" is usually found in the middle of a syllable. We will also study proverbs - what they are and what some of them mean. The final test is scheduled for Friday, 3/17.


Social Studies:    We will complete our study of the Midwest.  There will be an open book quiz on Monday covering what we have learned about the Ojibwa.  The students will also  share their "Just Look" State books this week. On Tuesday we will have our Midwest Resource Day and enjoy some of the foods from the Midwest.

Science:   We will complete chapter 3,  Adaptations.  The chapter test is Friday.  The students should review their notes and reread the chapter to help prepare for the test.
