Here are our plans for this week:
Reading-
We will continue to read about natural hazards while finding main ideas with supporting details; and to find important facts within a text.  Students will also meet in small reading groups to develop comprehension skills. 

Writing-
The students should be writing a final draft of their Harris Burdick stories.  The publishing stage is the last stage in the writing process.

Spelling/ Vocabulary- 
We will have our test on Friday this week.  Students will be given the list in a standard spelling test format and then be asked to use several of the words in a story or in sentences to test how well they understand the meaning of each word.

Math- 
We will complete Topic 2 this Friday with a final test.  We will reveiw the mental math and rounding concepts each day and will also practice these skills while problem solving.

Science- 
Students have been researching information about a natural weather disaster.  The groups are going to create a weather forecast and a safety plan related to the weather in which they are studying.

Have a great week!
