Reading: Review Week
Students learned and
used many skills while
reading the stories and
selections.
 The plot is what happens in a story.
 Characters are the
people who experience the events of a
story.
 The cause is why an
event happens and
the effect is what happens.

The setting is where
and when the story
takes place.

Theme is the “big
idea” that holds the
entire story together.
 Sequence refers to
the order in which the
events happen. In
nonfiction, it means
the steps in a process.

In this topic, your student

adding and subtracting decimals. These skills will enable your student to solve
mathematical and realworld problems efficiently.
These skills will also help
your student estimate sums
and differences in order to
determine the reasonableness of solutions.
AR:
Please monitor your
child’s Accelerated
Reader reading. They
should be reading at
least 30 minutes at
home in these books
daily. If your child did
not have an A or B on
