Salmon's Week 11 Update
November 14th-18th
Overview
Reading: We are continuing to read So You Want to be President. This ties into the reading standard of RI4.2 or Main Idea of a Nonfiction Text. Students are working to identify the the main idea and not the topic. This is a difficult skill and we are using graphic organizers to identify details and determine the main idea.
Science: We started our unit on Sound Wave. Here are a few concepts:
Wave: the transfer of energy
Medium: solid, liquid or gas that energy travel through
Crest: highest point of wave
Trough: lowest point of wave
I'll send more next week.
Writing: Students are starting our second quarter writing unit on opinion. I have heard quite a few these week. With opinion writing students are required to use 2-3 details/facts from their reading to support their opinion writing.
