Academics This Week:
We will continue learning about plot and characterization in literature this week. In grammar, our focus will be on defining and identifying clauses and relative pronouns and adverbs. We will also work on dictionary skills. The students will get a new poem to learn which will be recited the week of 2/12.
In math this week, we will be wrapping up our unit introducing decimals. We will practice rounding decimals, review the unit, and take our unit test on Friday.
We finish our unit on circulatory/respiratory system with a test on Wednesday. Then we start our unit on chemistry.
This week in history we will continue our study of the 5 regions of the United States. We will focus on the Mid-West, West and the Southwest this week. Students will learn about the land, climate, plants, animals and industry of each region. We will have a test on the 5 regions on Monday 2/12.
