Upcoming Events
Thanksgiving Break: Week of November 20th-24th, no school!
Reading, Writing, and Social Studies
Our next Unit Test (Unit 2B Persuasion) will be on November 7th, 2017.
In writing, we will be learning how to write persuasive texts with reasons and examples. To draft our writing, we will be using the OREO method (see picture below).
In social studies, we will be learning about the events leading up to the American Revolution. This will include the Boston Tea Party and Paul Revere's Ride.
Math and Science
Catapults and STEM Activity pages are due November 1! -15 points each school day projects are late. The activity pages will take the most time. I have added them to our Team Awesome Schoology page.
In science, we will be beginning our unit on forms of energy. We are in need of recycled items that could be used to make instruments at school. They can be items like paper towel tubes, butter containers, coffee cans, small boxes, cereal boxes, etc. Thank you in advanced for sending these items to school!
