Happy last full week of school! Here is what to expect this week in room 34.

Science: This week we will continue the study of the flow of energy, but focus on plants (absorb sun/nutrients, make food) and decomposers.  

Writing: We are continuing  to draft, and then revise our memoirs. We are focusing on using figurative language to paint a picture in your audience mind, and using our external timeline to affect the central characters feelings.

Reading: We are focusing on social issues as we bring our reading lenses to the world and make our thinking more complex. The students are meeting in literature groups and continuing to bring rich discussions to their group.

Math: The students will be getting back their  Chapter 6 math test today. We will continue with Chapter 7 and focus on working backwards to solve a math problem, generating patterns, ordered pairs, and graphing ordered pairs.

Social Studies: We are  continuing  study of the Civil War, and which events of the mid-1800's kept the nation together and which events pulled it apart? The students will be acting out several primary sources.
