Writing - Students are working on the Literary Essay. We have practiced writing Introductions and Conclusions and using evidence from the book to support our claims in our essays. Next week we will be editing and working on revising our pieces to make them even better.
Have a wonderful, snowy weekend!
Social Studies
Students completed their Unit 10 Assessment. This test was open book and hope notebook; they could use all of their resources. Your child should be bringing this home. Students began Lesson 11: To Declare Independence or not. Students will study six historical figures to compare the reasons why some colonists wanted independence, while other did not.
Essential Question: What were the arguments for and against colonial independence from Great Britain?
Math
THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU!
The Chex® Mix activity was a hit! I truly appreciate all of the donations; this activity would not have been possible without your help.
The students did a great job altering their recipe to serve their groups of 4 instead of 24. Check out the video to see a few of the highlights.
