“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”
What Will We Be Learning This Week?
Math
We will be continuing Unit 5 in Math Expressions, which covers fractions, decimals, and probability.
Language Arts
We will continue reading Blue.
Social Studies
This week we will learn about the War of 1812 and the Trail of Tears.
We will continue researching Australia and Egypt for our school's International Day activities that will be coming up in April.
Science
We will continue reading Mixing Matter over the next week or so. This is currently shared with students in the Google Drive accounts under the "incoming" link on the left.
The unit test for Matter: Properties and Change will be postponed again to 3/13 due to the days missed for snow.
