Weekly Update

Writing

Students finished their Revolutionary War chapters books (see below!) early this past week and have already begun researching for their second book.  Topics include World War II, History of the Winter Olympics, Civil Rights, Mythology, Trojan War, Tornadoes, Civil War, etc. 

Reading

Students are doing great in book clubs and are having awesome conversations about their books!  Keep up the good work, students!  

Math

In Chapter 10, we will focus on decimals.  The chapter moves fast.  First, we will convert fractions with denominators of 10 (tenths) or 100 (hundredths) into decimals.  Then, we will add those fractions and write the answers as decimals, order and compare decimals, and work with word problems involving decimals.

Science

We will continue in our electricity unit.  Don't forget that students can complete extra practice and extra credit activities on the online Science textbook: Pearson.
