Math
The big event in math this week will be a quiz on Tuesday! This quiz will cover chapter 2, lesson 1-4. Converting between decimals, percents, and fractions/mixed numbers is what this quiz is all about. Please use online tutors, the book, spiral notebook, and links/class notes posted under math and science to help review these concepts. Students have known about this quiz for over a week, so there should be no surprises! The remainder of the week will be spent continuing our way through chapter 2. Science In science this week we will continue to learn about the Earth-Sun-Moon system. Students will continue to read and learn about seasons and their causes, and complete many activities in class. To support this material, a homework assignment comparing rotations and revolutions will be sent home on Monday and due on Wednesday. English Language Arts, Reading and History Writing: Students did an amazing job on writing their Unforgettable Events. I will be reading those through with grades in PowerSchool by Friday. Ordinarily, I would be talking about individual writing conferences, but the schedule has left me to talk to students when I can, not necessarily a personal conference. We will begin our pen pal letters this week. Reading We continue reading Lightning Thief and reading books in Massachusetts Book Award Book Groups. We begin StudySync this week: Each day will have a different intro lesson Our focus this week will be on peer review, annotation of reading, context clues, reading comprehension and close reading. Grammar: We review parts of sentences to learn to build better sentences for our writing. History Classwork continues to have students working in groups to learn sections of Ancient History. Each group is preparing a presentation with a group poster which will be used to teach the class about each period of history: Mesopotamia - life, inventions, beliefs and conquerors, the Phoenicians and the Ancient Hebrews. Homework will be a map of a Mesopotamian city due on Friday. Comments are closed.
