Exciting Week

This week is filled with adventure!

Monday starts with Cinco De Mayo with a Promethean activity to compare and contrast our community with communities in Mexico.  We will have a little chips and salsa for snacks.

 

The Big Chill:

.

The students will bring in their boxes Monday.  All boxes should have some type of material attached to insulate the box.  We will start by writing our hypothesis and then writing our procedures.We will chart the melting of the ice in each box.  Then we will combine the results into a class graph.    We  will write our own conclusion.  This is actively taking the children through the scientific process. Thanks for supporting this home project. We will conclude our heat unit by actively participating in a heat Promethean lesson.

Math:

Students will be making a Hershey Book to recall all we learned in our fraction lesson.  Chapter 20 will be finished this week with a test on Thursday.  M & M's Candy activity will be the hands-on fraction lesson this week

As you probably know, we finished Marley.  Marley lived a great life.  Yes, he did die at the end but only after a very nice and eventful life.  I cried and the kids cried because we all love Marley so much.  What a great author to move us to tears.

Reading:

Literature Circles and guided reading will continue as well as our language arts project.
