Writing: Students are working on putting their feature article graphic organizer into paragraphs for their first rough draft. The goal will be to complete all drafts prior to our college trip on April 5th.
Math: This week students focused on the formulas for area of rectangles, parallelograms, and irregular shapes. They had a quiz on Friday that covered 8.3-8.6. They have a worksheet on area to complete and give them extra practice. Students will also be reviewing, possibly in the form of pop quizzes, double digit multiplication and math terms.
Reading: All groups have complete their novels and this week we will be moving on to some of my favorite authors and stories! Groups will be changing to allow students to experience other classmates' take on the stories. We have finished learning about the element of setting (time, place, and environment), and will be moving onto plot with understanding conflicts and resolution of the story.
Science: Students completed their unit on energy and are moving on to states of matter, which is always a fun, hands on experience!
