Here is what is happening in room 34.....

Science:  Today we continued Unit 3: Earth's Systems. We are focusing on the 4 spheres of Earth- geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. Today each student started their Earth' Sphere Project in which they randomly choose a city in the world, and will create a google slide presentation explaining how the 4 sphere's interstate with one another at that location.  

Writing: We are finishing our first nonfiction  research piece on a Westward Expansion topic. They will work on revising with a more formal tone and publishing this week and they will be do next Tuesday.

Reading:  We will continue to focus on reading complex nonfiction texts as we think about a text's structure, summarizing, and using morphology of words to tackle tricky vocabulary.

Math: We will be adding and subtracting decimals, using base ten blocks and models. We will also be reviewing addition properties. We will begin reviewing for our test  Friday and Monday, and the test over chapter 5 will be Tuesday, November 7th.

Social Studies: We are studying the Constitution and they will work with a partner to pass their Constitution Law Exam, it will cover the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branch, as well as the Check and Balances, Amendment Process, and The Federal System. This is all done in class and open book. No need to study, a fun way of learning the information.
