What to expect this week...
Science- This week we will focus on the flow of energy within our biosphere- from the sun to decomposers!
Math- Our ch. 6 test will be on Tuesday. Next up, expressions and patterns!
Writing- Portfolios will go home on Monday and will be due by Friday. Students should share their historical research report and complete the self-evaluation checklist.
We are beginning an exciting and challenging unit on memoirs! A memoir is a hybrid kind of writing, including elements of both personal narrative and personal essay. We are raising the level of our craft by adding in more reflection, opinions, and thoughts. We will then be supporting our thoughts with evidence in the form of personal stories!
Reading- We are continuing to study social issues within our book club books. Students should be reading their assigned book club book in school and at home. When they reach their stopping point, they can continue reading their choice books. I am SO impressed by the amount of reading, deep thinking and conversing that is happening in our classroom!
Social Studies- Lawyer teams will continue to debate on different law cases. We will use the Bill of Rights to help us determine what is wrong and what is right. Lawyers must use legal reasons to back up their decisions, rather than just their opinions.
