March 22-26

Math: Chapter 7 test is on Tuesday. We will start chapter 8 on Wednesday. Students will continue working with fractions. This week they will learn to subtract and add like denominators, find the least common denominators, and subtract and add unlike denominators.

Writing: We are beginning a unit on narrative writing. Students will pre-write by identifying the following:

1. Who (the main character(s) and setting

2. Wants

3. But (the problem that keeps them from getting what they want)

4. Then (what they do to overcome the problem)

5. Finally (how it ends)

Social Studies: We will be taking the unit test on The West this Wednesday the 24th of March. Students have a study guide. If they know the material on the guide, they will do very well on the test. We are also starting a unit Thursday on Pre-Civil War.
