WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
READING & WRITING
We started our Nonfiction unit. Learners are learning ways how nonfiction texts become increasingly complex and understanding those complexities. We also started mapping out our class nonfiction iBook.
Math
Learners begin the week on financial literacy. Learners discussed the difference between gross pay and net income. We held a meeting with Las Colinas Federal Credit Union representative about budgeting money and savings.
SCIENCE
Learners explored the different forms of energy and their uses.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Learners continue to explain how conflict between the American colonies and Great Britain led to American Independence. Leedership council elections were held and learners elected their new student council representative.
