Ms. Harris' Weekly Update
March 25th-29th
What's Going On This Week:
Ms. Harris' Science: This week in science, we will start our final unit on Astronomy. Students will learn about the sun and how it causes day/night and seasons. They will also get a at-home project to work on over the next few weeks. Students will be making a model of the solar system using items they have at home. Directions will be in students' Science IANs today. This project will be due back on April 10th. Our final unit test will be on April 11th.
Mrs. Thurston, Leonard, and Uhlenhake's Math/ELA: This week we will continue working on Author's Purpose. We will also finish our mini unit on TDAs and take our grade level TDA practice. Students were given a completed one today and will be taking a practice TDA on Tuesday. In math this week we will be reviewing Customary and Metric Measurement. The measurement test will be by Thursday March 28th.
Ms. Harris' GT Math/ELA: This week in math we will be finishing up our unit on measurement. Students will be creating a poster in class to teach one of the units we have been learning about. Our measurement post test will be Wednesday. This will cover elapsed time, money, length, capacity, and weight. In ELA, we will continue working on our mythology unit. There will not be spelling this week, but there will be new words given the week of April 1st. We will finish our TDA on "The Legend of the Black Fish" and take a grade level practice TDA on Tuesday. Both the published Black Fish TDA and student novel responses (they must do 3 total) are due on Thursday before the field trip. Please see information about Genius Hour projects below.
Wednesday, March 27th is a Flip-Flop day for our Robotics Team!
For a $1.00, students can dress up as a teacher, and teachers can dress up as a student! All money goes to the Robotics team's trip to the World Competition. I cannot wait to see how the students dress!
