Math: We will continue to review previously taught objectives in preparation for the math STAAR test coming up on March 28th. This week, our focus will be on order of operations, unit conversions, area, perimeter, and volume. I also strongly encourage the kids to log on to Think Through Math to get some extra practice in at home!
ELA: Book club meetings will continue to take place this week. It is extremely important that students are keeping up with their nightly reading (but not ahead), and come to class each day prepared to discuss their “job” with the group. This meeting time also provides a review of this year’s objectives in preparation for the reading STAAR test on March 29th. In addition, we will be fine tuning our main idea and summarization skills with use of several practice reading passages this week.
Quizlet and spelling quizzes on Friday, 3/10.
Science: This week we begin our unit on life sciences. Ecosystems, habitats, and the interaction of living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) things. Study Jams: Ecosystems has some great videos to check out: Ecosystems, Carbon Cycle, Population Growth, and Biomes.
Social Studies: Civil War (Compromises)
Happy spring break! Be safe and have fun!
