The Week of 6-4-12

The end is near!  Students will begin the week by presenting their Economics Expo projects.  We will end the week with an exciting performance by some visiting Chinese acrobats.  Here's what we'll do in between:


In literature study, we will finish reading Island of the Blue Dolphins.  In word work, we will start our next unit in the Word Wisdom book.  In writing workshop, each student will create their own scrapbook page to reflect one of their favorite moments from the year.


In math, we will continue to study multiply fractions and finish the week with a test.


In science, students will learn how to determine the difference between climate and weather.  We will watch a short video and create skits to help solidify our understanding of these concepts.
