Social Studies: This week we will begin learning about the WEST region. This region includes 11 states. Students will bring home the West region map with the states and capitals labeled, as well as a baggie with the states and capitals on flashcards. In class we will be learning about the West region’s climate, economics, landforms, history, natural resources, and landmarks. The West region test will be next Friday, April 13th
Reading: This week we are working on identifying and defining challenging vocabulary words within text. We will read various passages and answer questions about word meanings. Students will be practicing strategies to help them use text clues to prove their answers. This will be good preparation for similar questions on the reading MCA test coming up in 2 weeks.
Writing: We are drafting personal narratives this week. Focusing on our story boards. Kiddos will be doing at least a story board a day, check Seesaw for pictures of their work!

FYI : I have had many parents and kids asking about homework opportunities for students. Kids should be reading 20 minutes a night and studying for tests.
Additionally I have sent home some math packets (review skills) and reading packet (review skills) for them to take home. I will add pictures to seesaw so you can see what they look like. It is great practice with MCAs coming up in April.
