ELA:
This past week in ELA, scholars impressed us with their efforts! Not only did they work hard on their STAAR Writing Test, but they also showed how much they learned while reading the Princess and the Goblin. We are so proud to see their growth as readers and writers! This coming week, we will officially begin our final Classic-to-Keep: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Please have your scholar bring their copy on Monday. In Grammar, we will be focusing on Object Pronouns (me, us, you, him, her, it, them). Finally, in writing, scholars will continue practicing skills of expository and persuasive writing with tools such as concept maps and outlines. We can’t wait to see them continue to grow!
Math:
Scholars have continued excellent work practicing decimals up to the hundredths place. They are making great connections with how decimals and fractions relate and reflect the names of their place values. After their hard work this week with the Writing STAAR test, scholars practiced comparing decimals and have been doing a great job of lining up their place value to add and subtract decimals. Next week, they will show their knowledge of hundredths and also complete their next unit test!
History:
Hello historians! This week we focused on the events leading up to the American Revolution, specifically with the Seven Years’ War and taxation. Next week, students will learn more about the issues leading up to The Declaration of Independence, and they will write their own versions. There will be a tiny quiz next Friday as well. See you next week!
Science:
Hello scientists! This week our scholars worked hard on learning more about fossil fuels and the effect they have on our environment. They learned how fossil fuels are created and how they harm the environment using the greenhouse effect. Next week, we will look closer at fossil fuels by investigating coal and natural gases’ effect on the natural environment. Scholars should expect hearing about a project in the upcoming week.
