In Language Arts, we carry on with our novel (Shipwreck), our writing program (Write Traits), and our grammar program (Communication Skills). For math we have just received the program that we will be mainly using for the rest of the year. It's called Jump Math. While we have been studying ratio and percent, we are now moving on to mixed numbers and improper fractions. The week before Spring Break, the math groups will not switch and we will stay in our classes to do some review work before the week off. For Science this week we are looking at our last 'Extreme Environment' (space) and will do a science experiment next week and the week after before moving on to our last topic of the year. This is our last week of basketball in P.E. before we move on to badminton for about a month before track and field season starts. It seems incredible to be talking about track and field but the season is fast approaching.
I'm away 2 days this week in preparation for the professional development day on Friday (I'm on the organizing committee). I'm afraid I did not receive any information about scheduling for the end of basketball so rather then put misinformation on here......I've left it off.
Let's take a look at this week:
Monday, Feb. 21 - Ms. Lane away, P.E., Moo day
Tuesday, Feb. 22 -P.E. day
Wednesday, Feb. 23 - Moo day
Thursday, Feb. 24 - Ms. Lane away, P.E. day
Friday, Feb. 25 - Professional Development Day for teachers....NO SCHOOL FOR KIDS
