Science
Last week, we began reading Chapter 14, lesson one on heat. We will breeze through chapter 14 this week and learn about light and sound from lessons 2 and 3. At the end of this week we will take a 10 point open book review on the entire chapter. Students can use their book and their notes to help. There will not be a chapter test.
Social Studies
We will finish up Chicago this week. I am planning on ending the Chicago unit with a short quiz on Chicago May 27th.
Spelling
L. 29 words are spelled with the prefix un-. The test will be Friday. There will not be a pretest due to the magic show. The workbook pages for this week will be assigned on Tuesday. They are pages 152-155. There will be an ABC order that goes home on Thursday.

English
We will finish up unit 6 on pronouns. The test is scheduled for Wednesday 5/20. This will be our final english test for the year.

Reading
We are very excited for Monday's Magic show! For our final 8 days of reading (can you believe it?) we will be reading the novel, Ramona Quimby, Age 8.
Math
We will be taking the decimal test on Tuesday, 5/19. We will begin multiplication of greater numbers. We are all done taking mad minutes. Your child should continue to practice multiplication and division facts.
