A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK:

*Reading: We will continue to read and discuss The One and Only Ivan.  We will be taking a open book selection quiz during the week as well (date TBD).  We are working on using text to support our answers. We are also focusing on figurative language (similes, metaphors, etc) and interesting word choices (synonyms).

*Spelling: Please check in with your child to see how much homework they have completed. 3 activities are due on Fri. 4/20. The test will also be on Fri. 4/20.

*Social Studies: We are busy working on learning about the Great Chicago Fire, rebuilding the city after the fire, and the World's Fair. A study guide was sent home on Fri. 4/13. Your child can complete the study guide to be used on the quiz on Fri. 4/20. They will NOT be able to use their Chicago packet or book, but they will be able to use the study guide.

*Mrs. Olsen's Math Class: We are wrapping up Unit 6. We will focus on fractions. A study guide/practice test will be sent home on Mon. 4/16. It will be due on Mon. 4/23 when we review for the test that will be on Tues. 4/24.  We will also work on 4's division facts next week.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
