This is so true with what are student's are working on this week. We are pushing them to be critical thinkers in all subject areas, and where they land is always better than where they began:)

This week in room 34.....

Science: We started our final lesson with chapter 11 force and motion. This week the students will be able to describe different kinds of machines and understand how they work.


Writing: We are working on finalizing our argument essay on chocolate milk and if it should be served in our school. They are working on adding powerful quotations, balancing evidence with analysis, and publishing their essay. We will share these out on Monday, the 29th.

Math: Our unit fraction test came home yesterday, students can make corrections to earn back points.  We started chapter 11 this week, which is measurement. This week will focus on converting customary units of length and weight. 

Reading: We are focusing on argument and advocacy, researching debatable issues. Every student chose a debatable issue and are researching both sides of the topic. We are focusing on looking at texts for relevant information and be able to think and wonder as they read. 

 Social Studies: We are engaging in small group discussions on how the thirteen colonies thrived and what daily life was like for them.
