March 2-- No School Institute Day
Reading: This week we will continue our "Journeys" Unit. We will begin reading the novel The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. This story tells the tale of a china rabbit who goes on an adventure and learns how to love. We will begin by close reading an excerpt from the first chapter.
Spelling: Unit 21 - Relative Adverbs, Relative Pronouns, Reading content words
This week's lesson will include the spelling and use of relative adverbs, relative pronouns, and content words. A relative adverb relates back to a time, place or reason to provide more details about a noun. A relative pronoun relates back to something or someone else. The reading content words are familiar to students, and they should be able to spell them and to apply them (Example: identify a simile or a metaphor.)The final test is scheduled for Friday, 3/9.
Social Studies: We will complete our study of the Midwest. There will be an open book quiz on Thursday covering what we have learned about the Ojibwa. On Thursday we will also have our Midwest Resource Day and enjoy some of the foods from the Midwest.

We will review different types of triangles, quadrilaterals and other polygons. There will be a Checkpoint Review on Wednesday covering module two. A study guide will be sent home on Monday.
