Ms. Harris' Weekly Update
February 17th-21st
What's Going On This Week:
- Ms. Harris' Social Studies: This week we will wrap up our unit on World Power and WW1. Students will learn about the Treaty of Versailles and the formation of the League of Nations. Our unit test will be on the 25th and 26th of February. A study guide will go home Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
- Ms. Harris' GT Math and ELA: In math this week, students will take their decimal unit test on Monday. Then we will start our big unit on fractions. We will begin by finding the least common multiple and using that to help us compare fractions, as well as add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators. In ELA, we will focus on literary essays and pulling evidence from a text. Students will continue editing their NaNoWriMo stories, inserting great dialogue and organizing their plot structure. We will also have our Word of the Day quiz on Wednesday of this week. There is no spelling this week.
