Math Next,
we will study Chapter 21: Patterns. The topics of describing patterns,
extending pattern units, making patterns, transferring patterns, and
correcting a pattern will be studied. Chapter 21 covers Indiana Academic
Standard 2.3.3. Reading The
week of May 12th we will be reading In The Dinosaur’s Paw. The
vocabulary words will be Tyrannosaurus, swamp, disgraceful, powerful,
and sneak. This is a literature book, not a story in the red
reader. We will work on our comprehension skills as well as story
elements. In language, we will study complete and incomplete sentences,
capitalization, and punctuation.
Writing We
are writing our own versions of the story, One Day in the Life of
Bubble Gum. We will use what we have learned from the 6+1 Writing
Traits to write, organize, edit, revise, and present our stories. Spelling
The
spelling words for the week of May 12th-16th are: children, search,
teacher, reached, think, together, with, where, everywhere, short, push,
finish, sure, who, and whole. The final five words will be
word family words of swam and came. Students earning a 100% on Wednesday
do not have to take the test Friday! Science

week, we will be harvesting seeds from our plants.
