Newsletter 2/22-2/26

Here's What's Happening...

English/Language Arts: Students are enjoying their work on the newscast project and they are doing a great job of collaborating together!  They will wrap this project up early next week.  We will then shift to reviewing text structures and Word Work List 7 skills.  There will be graded assignments for both of these skills towards the end of the week!

Science: Studets will continue to learn how energy moves through an ecosystem, as well as look at an additional restoration project to see how other scientists made a claim and then found evidence to support their claim.  We will also discuss how scientists develop scientific theories.

Social Studies: On Monday, students will be able to view all the products available for trade in our trade fair, as well as watch each student's commercial for their product.  This will help them think about what items they will want to attempt to "trade" for.  We will hold our Virtual Trade Fair on Tuesday, and then students will complete a reflection activity.

Advanced Math: Our focus this week will shift to dividing fractions and mixed numbers, as well as applying their division skills to problem solving situations.  We will also review the skill of solving multiplication equations through the use of both dividing, as well as multiplying by the reciprocal.  There will be a Homework Review on Lessons 4-5 on Friday!
