Hope everyone was able to enjoy the fabulous weather this past weekend! Here is our weekly update:
In reading, we are continuing our discussion of text structures as well as identifying when authors use specific structures and why.
In writing, students are working on researchable questions based on a topic of their choice. Students were asked to identify a movement in history that has impacted society and be able explain the driving forces behind this movement. Topics have ranged anywhere from the civil rights movement to the word wildlife fund. The variety of topics are outstanding! We have some very creative kids on our hands, but we already knew that! If you would like to support your child in any way, feel free to ask them to bring home their writing journal or show you their resources in Edmodo. *Edmodo usernames and passwords are kept in your child's agenda.
In social studies, we are inquiring into the driving forces behind the acquisitions of Texas, specifically focusing on the Battle of the Alamo and Texas independence.
In math, we will work on decimal and fraction equivalencies with tenths and hundredths. The students have homework this week that is due Friday.
In science, we will continue studying the effects of forces on movement. We will learn the ideas of Newton's Laws among other things, but the students are not required to memorize which law is which.
