Academics:

ELA:  
Vocabualry:  We will not have a list of vocabulary for this week.  We will be working on using prefixes and suffixes to decipher word meaning in our Reading Binders. We will still have a test on Friday as usual but students will be able to use their charts in their Reading Binders to assist them.  

RRJ: We will have an RRJ due on Friday.
To celebrate literacy week we will be designating a portion of reading each day to Independent Reading so it is absolutely necessary for students to bring their independent reading books with them. These are the books that students use to complete RRJs. 

Writing: We will begin working on text based writing this week using text sets/articles. :)

Math: We will cover lessons 10-14 this week from Module 2 (videos will be posted below).  These topics will cover multiplying decimals by whole numbers with the area model using prior knowledge and understanding of place value and estimation.  We will also be looking at equivalent measurements.

**Students can bring their math materials home nightly to help them on homework.**

Science: We will continue our discussion weather, clouds, and the water cycle.  These topics are covered in chapters 3 & 4 in the students science workbooks.  We will spend 2 days reviewing and will test on Friday!  **Science Test Friday on Chapters 3 & 4**
