Welcome back!
Important Dates and Information:
Reminder: Each day starts at 8:00 a.m., when we look forward to seeing all students sitting scholarly and ready for our Homeroom Zoom meetings!
English Language Arts:
Literature: This week we practiced finding themes in The Secret Garden and next week we will find specific ideas in the story to back up our main ideas.
Poetry: This last week and this next week we are practicing for our
recitation on the 18th.
Math:
Next week we will be taking a step further into working
with word problems and learning how to navigate them. We will also see the
fruition of the distributive property in the algorithms we use for
multiplication and division. Have a great weekend!
History:
Monday of next week will consist of the Mesoamerican Review/ Test. The slide-video will take the students through the review and the Cornell notes will be provided as a reference to be used on the Google Classroom Test. The Test itself will have ten questions this time, as opposed to the usual five question quiz. Students can change their answers until they “Submit” those answers to GC. A grade should be given to them soon after in the top right-hand corner of the graded Test.
Wednesday will consist of a reflection project. One question will be asked about each of the Mesoamerican Civilizations: Maya, Aztec, Inca. Students will be asked to answer the question in 3-5 sentences and create a picture from their words to bring the words to life through art.
Science:
We had some exciting developments with physical and chemical
changes this week. We were able to see that after the baking soda reacted to the vinegar,
the bag stayed relatively the same weight! Next week, we finish up our conversation about
chemistry and start to turn our attention to energy and light. Here's a sneak peek!
Grammar/Writing:
Next week in Writing we will continue identifying topics and main ideas in paragraphs and putting them into outlines. In Grammar, we will continue practicing using and diagramming adverbs.
