What are we learning???
Math:
This week, we will be covering the following topics in math class: finding reciprocals of fractions, dividing fractions, and finding computation rules with positive/negative numbers. Through the week we will be playing a few games to learn how this content can be applicable in everyday life. The Unit 6 test and written response will tentatively be scheduled for April 23-24.
Science:
We will be entering our next Science unit on Energy. Energy consumption is all around us in so many forms. Together, we will explore the types of energies and discuss the importance of energy conservation.
Reading - The students did an excellent job facilitating their own discussions throughout Book Club. Their Artful Artist projects are due this Tuesday and presentations will be on Wednesday and Friday.
In our reading textbook, we will be reading a memoir titled “The Pigman and Me” by Paul Zindel. On Wednesday, I will introduce the reading response options that will be due on Friday.
Writing - This week the students will be finishing up their Weebly sites. I will have all of their site links available on the blog when they are completed. The students have worked incredibly hard on not only the content, but also making sure their design is purposeful.
On Monday, I will introduce our next reading and writing unit. This is an exciting unit that will be very different from the previous ones. More to come next week! :)
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Ball
