February 27 - March 2, 2012 WOW! March already???

We will be learning more about autism through our story this week when we read The Sound of Annie's Silence. Our video clip this week deals with three teenage boys & their stories of going through life with some degree of autism. Thursday we will have a weekly reading test over this story. Vocabulary has us learning words that describe our personalities. Vocab. lesson 19 will be due Friday & the test will take place then as well.
We're rounding our third week in our lit circle books. I'm behind in my grading of week 2 due to my absence for half of last week. I will be grading these when week 3 is turned in.

In science we'll be continuing to learn about our solar system. We are finishing reading lesson 14 in our books at the beginning of the week as well as checking over our work in the book. There is a pneumonic device that we'll be discussing & learning in order to remember the order of our planets. My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos - yum!!! Ask your child what this stands for by the end of the week! We will be reading over informational charts about the planets & gathering data from them in our "Can You Planet?" packet. Hopefully our week will close by making a scaled model of our solar system on paper. 
We'll be busy, busy, busy!!!!
