WEEKLY OVERVIEW
March 25 – 29, 2013
***Easter Holidays – Friday, March 29 and Monday, April 1, 2013
READING – Test on Wednesday
We will take our test on “Charlotte’s Web” on Wednesday. We will take a reading comprehension test which will consist of eight multiple choice questions and one written response question. We will also have a vocabulary test on the ten words from the story. Students were given a vocabulary study guide. It should be kept in their reading folder. Please use this study guide to review for our test.
Students will be tested on words with the suffix –tion and -sion. This skill goes along with our spelling words for this week. Students will also have to read a short passage and make inferences about the passage. Students will have to think about what the author tells them in the passage and think about what they already know about the subject. Then they must put them together to make inferences about the story or passage. Students will also have to use clues from a sentence to determine the meaning of the underlined word.
He brings his bat to baseball practice.
(In this sentence bat means a stick used to hit a baseball.)
The bat catches an insect.
(In this sentence bat is a kind of animal.)
SPELLING – Test on Wednesday

This will be our last test on multiplying a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number. For the month of April, we will multiply a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number.
LANGUAGE – Test on Thursday
Every day, students will complete a MUG Shot sentence (Mechanics, Usage, and Grammar). Students will complete it individually, and then we will check it together. The test will contain the same type of errors that we worked on during the week. This week we are working on irregular verbs (teach, taught, bring, brought, etc.).
