Class Updates
Social Studies: This week in Social Studies we learned that there are many sides to every story. In this case: We learned about the Persian Empire. We learned how the Persians came into contact with the Greeks and we even graphed the population of both the Persian Empire and Ancient Greece. Next week we will start our journey through the Greco-Persian Wars!
Science: In science next week we will be learning about bacterial diseases and ways to prevent them. We will also learn about the importance of protists in our lives. It will be a week full of microbes!
Literacy: Latin root unit 3 is complete! The test was Thursday, and thank you to all the kids who did not ask if they were all corrected on Friday! You'll have the results on Monday! Monday the Chrome books are back in The Mansion, where students will tackle Latin unit 4. Get ready to collaborate to define the new vocabulary, as well as to create the lists for your flash cards! We'll also analyze some more cartoons, but this time in writing!
English: This week students finished their Greek mythology unit! This is always a fun unit, and students seemed to enjoy the myths and the real life lessons they teach. Please don't forget to submit your mini projects on the Greek gods and goddesses by November 4th. This can be done right on Google Classroom! Coming up this week, students will have their first narrative writing performance task. Get ready, kids! Also--don't forget about your field trip permission slips (see below)!
Math: The first Go Figure was due Friday! Next week we will continue with rational numbers. If you are struggling with fractions head to Big Ideas and watch the examples for lesson 2.1 and 2.2. We are using the Common Core 2014 book with the red cover! The November Go Figure will be coming home this week.
