Science: We'll be wrapping up our unit at the end of this week with an assessment. Students can log on to their unit anytime to review the concepts that we've been learning about. At the end of the week they should be able to tell you exactly why the moon jelly population exploded in the Glacier Sea!
Literacy: We have returned to The Omnivore's Dilemma to enjoy learning about how an ecological, sustainable farm works! In the week ahead we'll get the final unit of Latin roots started, and take the final round of iReady tests.
English: Students submitted their final independent reading projects for the year last week! We also began a new article in Study Sync, entitled "The Dangers of Social Media." It has yielded such wonderful, honest discourse in class, and I'm proud of our students for respecting alternate points of view. We discussed author's purpose as well as counter-claims within the article. The article mentions the "Wait Until 8th" Pledge, which we then explored in class. Students will spend time this week creating pledges of their own and working in small groups.
Math: Students are wrapping up our statistics unit we are still working with sample variability and random samples this week. The study guide will go home on Tuesday and the test is Friday, May 17th. Make sure to study and ask questions.
