Weekly Objectives May 20-24, 2013
Reading: We will be taking our end-of-the-year reading test Monday and Tuesday.
Math: Continue to review all skills. We will have class assessments on various skills until next Wednesday when we take our test.
Science: We will begin making our notebooks and flash cards for our review beginning on Monday. We are using the front section of the notebook. Cards will be marked with orange, and the pages are numbered in orange as well. Flash cards are in the front of the notebook. The notebooks and flash cards need to be returned daily. Our test is June 4.
Note: Testing notes: get a good night’s sleep, eat a good breakfast, do your best. Remember to have a quiet working space (no shouting out or getting out of your seat) and quiet walking space (we need to be superquiet when in the room and walking through the halls so as not to disturb anyone). YOU WILL DO AWESOME!!

Week thirty-six
This week we will take two SOL tests, social studies on Monday, May 20, 2013, and reading on Friday, May 24, 2013. We will continue to read Shades of Gray as a read aloud, shared reading and we will have an assessment on chapters four through six.
We will read paired text from StoryWorks on How to Save a Baby Elephant and The Rafflesia. The students will start and finish their last formal writing (4b). This writing consists of a persuasive letter to the student’s parents asking for a new pet (either real or imaginary). Students will color code their planning pages on Tuesday and write the rough draft and letter on Wednesday.
On Thursday, students will write a Civil War acrostic in complete sentences. Homework for the week will be a letter to a rising fifth grader telling the student everything they need to know to succeed in fifth grade. Students will receive an instruction sheet for this letter, which is to the right under This week’s homework. This letter will be assigned on Monday, May 20, 2013, and will be due Thursday, May 23, 2013.
Parents, please assure your student’s testing success by making sure he or she gets plenty of sleep this week along with a healthy breakfast on Monday and Friday.
