MathWe began this short week by taking Topic 16

test. I was very pleased with how well the students did!
We were able to just barely get started on our next topic.
We worked on understanding integers and coordinate
planes.

ReadingNext weeks reading story is

The Mystery of

St. Matthew Island. We will practice the reading skill of

main idea and supporting details.

GrammarNext weeks grammar skill will be principal

parts of regular verbs. Students will conjugate verbs in

the present tense, present participle, past tense, and past
participle. Ex. Walk, is walking, walked, has walked.

WritingStudents have been working hard on their

first poem for our poetry unit, a Haiku. Next week we will
take a look at acrostic poems and begin making our own.

SpellingNext weeks words all have the final syllable

of ant, -ent, -ance, or ence. It will takes lots of practice

and memorization. www.spellingcity.com/triton5

Social StudiesSince we wrapped up chapter 9 last

week, we are now ready to jump into chapter 10. We will

be reading and learning about how our newly found country
after the Revolutionary War struggled to govern. Students will learn about the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights.

ScienceWe did not have much time for Science this

week, however, we did work on our next lesson in our book

on Biotechnology. We discussed how this science connects
to our area with all of the orthopedic companies. Next
week students will make their own prototype prosthetic.

Note From the Teacher:

When we return from Camp Amigo we will be gearing up for our last round
of testing for the year. Hooray! Students will be tested on DIBELS next Tuesday. ISTEP+ testing will begin April 27 and conclude on May 5. This portion of
the testing will be the multiple choice part and it will be taken online.
If you attend Camp Amigo with us and capture some great moments, send
them to me at [email protected]. I would love to include them in the
Camp Amigo DVD that I will be making when we return. We will be selling the
DVDs of all the memories as a keepsake for you and your fifth grader. The
money made from the sale will help send students to Camp Amigo next year!
