    MRS. MORGAN This week we nished up all activities and projects related to The Adventures of Ulysses. Students did a great job summarizing chapters! When we return from break we will begin Lesson 24 in Story Town. Students will read about the Great Sphinx and ancient Egypt. The skill to go along with the nonction selections is understanding literary elements. We will also begin reading Where the Red Fern Grows. In grammar we will learn about perfect tense verbs. In writing we will be exploring descriptive compositions. The week we get back will be lled with adventures too! We will be heading out on three eld trips. Check the front for more details on the eld trips! decimals, and percents. When we return from break, students will be making their own scale drawings. I have asked students to bring a small, colored picture when we return from the break on Monday. They will be creating a bigger version of their pictures with a given scale. Please make sure your child has a picture when we return so they can participate! Have a wonderful spring break! Science/Social Studies: This week we focused on social studies. We began chapter 7 learning about Ancient Greece, which we will continue when we return from spring break. Students were assigned the cell model project last week for science, and it sounds like many students have already started or even nished! Please remember to remind your child that their projects are due the Monday, the 28th when we return. Every student must bring it that day! Thank you and have a wonderful spring break!

In addition to the scale drawings, we will also be working on percent of a number and the percent proportion.
