Hi there!
Last week, we ended the week with a football style community work station celebration. The students enjoyed the group work and the quarter and halftime breaks. In science, students were able to hold crayfish and start to study how they live and function. We also worked on area and perimeter, opinion writing, and gaining a better understanding of stories.
This week, we will work on understanding how individuals contribute to our communities. We will also work on understanding perspectives when reading literature while we gain a better understanding of area and perimeter. Additionally, we will start to bring our unit on opinion to a close.
We will thoroughly examine those who made contributions to our country and world through Black History Month activities. Your students will be assigned a different person in history each week. They will be tasked with finding similarities between themselves and their person, and identifying how their assigned person contributed to society and changed lives.
Upcoming Events:
Heart Healthy Valentine’s Day
