In Word Work, students will start GUM Book Unit 4: Grammar. We will work with pronouns, subjects, and objects this week. In literature study, we will start an inquiry project. Students will be exploring topics that they are curious about related to Civil Rights and Black History to culminate our unit on these topics. Students will learn how to ask different kinds of questions, how to leave tracks of their thinking, how to read a text with a question in mind, and how to read to get the gist of something to avoid plagiarism. In writing workshop, we will continue crafting our persuasive essays.
This week in math, students will begin by reviewing Topic 17 and taking a test. Then, we will start Topic 18: Graphing Data. Students will practice how to gather data for surveys, how to create and read bar graphs, picture graphs, and line graphs.This week in science, students will revisit the experiment from last week “Fixed Pulleys vs. Movable Pulleys.” All of the groups’ data was not consistent and we will analyze why. Then, students will investigate how two pulleys can be used together.
