Week 6 Overview
Hello!
I hope you all had a wonderful R&R weekend! The weather has been so lovely this weekend, and I enjoyed the opportunity to spend some time in the sun!
Academic Overview:
In ELA this week, we will focus on transition words and cause and effect. We will write the plot of one of the chapters in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and use it to work on editing skills. In grammar, the focus will be progressive verb tense and diagramming. On Friday, the students will recite the poem "Fog" by Carl Sandburg.
This week in math, we will start to study the four operations of decimals. We will spend most of the week practicing adding decimals, then move on to subtraction by Friday.
We will learn about mass and volume and how they relate to density. We will study the periodic table and learn some common elements we use everyday. We will learn about solutions and do an experiment to create crystals from a solution.
In history this week we will review the 5 regions of the United States for our quiz on Tuesday. After our quiz we will begin our study of Arizona's 3 regions. Students will be able to identify the 3 regions and the main features, rivers and lakes of each. Later in the week we will turn our attention to how we learn about history and the differences between primary and secondary sources. On Friday students will begin their Arizona landmark essay.
Have a great week!
