Social Studies: Eras that have impacted our state history. The class is exploring one specific era that they will learn about to share with their group!
Reading: We have been learning how to push our thinking to form new ideas (or wonders) about a topic. The class has been studying natural disasters in their research teams and have been practicing synthesizing information to compare/contrast as well!
Writing: Students have been working on their persuasive essay evidence and are drafting their essays! We are learning about how essayists use strong evidence to drive home the importance of their thinking to their audience. We have also been watching TED Talks to model how people deliver persuasive speeches on topics that are important to them.
Spelling: New Sort Words Next Week!
Goal Setting: With the crazy snow/cold day schedules we've been unable to track adequate data for our SMART Goals. Ask your kiddo what he/she is working on and next week we will be setting some new goals!
