Science test on Monday, May 20.  A study guide has been handed out on Monday, May 13.
 
Renewable and nonrenewable enrgy will not be on this assessment.
 
Students that need help with any topics should see me at the end of a school day with their questions. There will be a review in class on Friday as well. If they are staying, please send in a note  giving permission to walk home or to wait to be picked up in the office. Thanks.
 
 
 
In reading and writing workshop we have moved into a final unit on reading historical fiction in book clubs and writing a narrative story based on a historical period they have studied. This will require doing research on the time period they have chosen and taking notes to make their story as authentic as possible.  Independent reading will be continuing as usual with students reading for at least 40 minutes a night.
 
Word study groups are ongoing. We will be doing vocabulary building as well.
 
 We have begun a physics unit on force and motion and simple machines. We are also studying renewable and nonrenewable energy sources.
