Math- Our chapter 12 and 13 test will be on Tuesday! Students can study with the review video and other videos on the blog, the homework sheets in their binder, and the online textbook or the one they keep at home. We will be starting geometry (chapter 20-21) on Wednesday!
Science- We are beginning a new chapter on plants and animals this week! We will learn how scientists classify organisms.
It's also time to start thinking about PRISM! Investigation Proposal Sheets will be due Tuesday, Dec. 10. These will go home with students tomorrow (Tuesday).
Reading- Our reading focus this week will be on cause and effect. We will be reading a mentor text called A River Ran Wild which will connect nicely with our writing research reports on Native Americans! Literature Circles are on Wednesday.
Writing- We will be celebrating our first Native American research report on Tuesday! This means our clean draft should be completed by Tuesday. (LEAP students can work on it during morning work if necessary.) We will begin our 2nd research report on Wednesday! This time, students will choose a more specific topic that they are interested in within the broad topic of Native Americans (i.e. Sequoyah, the Cherokee, etc.)
New words will be handed out this week. Our next words test and words contract due date will be Friday, Dec. 13.
