As we enter another short week, I'd like to take a moment and wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving Holiday! Here's what we'll be learning this week:
In Word Work, we will work on Unit 2, Lesson 4. This will be a review of all of our movement words. Students will have a final unit test on Wednesday. In literature study, students will continue to read “Three Cups of Tea” and reflect upon the text. Students groups will also keep working on their “Heal the World” projects. Students have formed groups of 3-5 people and have a diverse array of projects including campaigning for money, creating a website, writing speeches, letters, raps, books, and posters. In writing workshop, students will continue to generate ideas for an essay by observing the world around them and by drawing conclusions based on their observations.
In math, students will learn how to find the area of squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles.
In science this week, students will learn about the lifecycles of amphibians.
