Greetings Families,
I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend. My family had the opportunity to enjoy a fall festival on Friday night and we might be enjoying another one tomorrow night. Hopefully, your home hasn't had too much candy eating induced craziness or sickness.
Here are the lessons for the week.
Language Arts: This week in language arts students will read more about the adventures of Robin Hood and his merry band of outlaws. in grammar, the focus turns to diagramming of prepositions. Spalding will bring more words and more markings.
Science: In science, students will learn how organisms interact with and impact their environments. For example, students will understand how animals adapt to changes. Students will also study different types of biomes with a focus on Arizona.
History: Students will explore the shift in power in government in the late Middle Ages and consider the role of the Magna Carta and the rule of King John in this shift.
Math: This week in math, students will take a test over fraction material learned last year that we have reviewed. On Thursday, students will be introduced to mixed numbers and improper fractions.

Wednesday, November 2, 2016 - Math Test: Fractions
Thursday, November 3, 2016 - Science Quiz, Using Scientific Data (Standardized Test Prep)
