Week of April 19th - 23rd

 We have been having fun learning about the fairness and equality with the principles and founding ideals of democracy. We had students engage in a Ancient Athens trial, which left many students questioning how this was the preliminary model of democracy. We have been having fabulous discussions!

In mathematics, we are coming to the end of our Order of Operations investigations and practice. We will be moving on to multiplication, division, area, perimeter and volume.

In Science, we are still exploring air and flight through Bernoulli's principle. However, later this week we will begin to explore how things fly, including birds and insects.

This last week, students explored hyperbole through a writing assignment in connection to our reading of Underground to Canada. This novel is spurring some fabulous discussions, questions, and wonderings; as well as helping use to explore inclusive language.

Here is the agenda for this coming week:
