Science: We'll wrap up our badger unit on Monday with a quiz. Tuesday we will start working on figuring out a new phenomenon: Why are there so many moon jellies?
Literacy: Students have spent a great deal of time learning about how pacifists brought about change in our country. They have watched a trilogy of movies about the the most famous acts of civil disobedience which resulted in changes under the law. This week they learned how Cesar Chavez changed the lives of the migrant farm workers. Links to the three movies are posted on the Google Classrooms. Next week they will begin a major writing assignment on the Art of Civil Disobedience. Be sure to keep an eye out for the packet!
English: Badgers spent the majority of the week completing their state assessments. Overall, I was very proud of how diligently our students worked! There will be a final unit test on The Giver on Tuesday, April 16th. There is a study guide posted online to each Google Classroom. Students should also read their independent reading books over the weekend. Aim for an hour of reading at a minimum!
*April book orders will be sent out next week and are due back to Mrs. McGuire by Friday, April 19th!

Math: Last week students students reviewed measures of center (mean, median, and mode). We estimated how many jelly beans are in a jar and analyzed all the estimates to determine if a single person or a group are better at estimating. This week we are starting our unit on statistics, but continuing with measures of center and looking at different types of graphs. This year we are going to primarily focus on dot plots, histograms, and box and whisker plots.
