My time is going so fast! It is so hard to believe that at the end of this week, Spring Break is here! Everyone is need of a break, rest, and time away from daily class routine and learning activities. Spring Break begins at 12:00 noon on Friday, March 26th. Classes will resume on Tuesday, April 6th, at 8:30 am.
Over the last two weeks, we have been building up our conceptual understanding of multiplication, decimals, and multiplication of decimals. We have also continued with our investigation into the properties of air and how air moves, with a few experiments. This coming week, we will be conducting three more experiments to help us make inferences about air. Students will need a straw, two empty pop cans, paper, a ruler, tub of water, an index card (or sturdy paper), and a glass.
We have also been working through our understanding of Ancient Athens government forms and how elements of democracy are rooted within our own governance models. We are continuing to work towards our study into the Iroquois Confederacy.
Over the last few weeks, we have also been working on deepening our understanding of how to craft interesting beginnings, suspenseful middles, and extended meaningful endings. Several students are still completing their narratives, and are encouraged to complete these before Spring Break.
Here is the agenda for this coming week:
