Alaska Husky Spirit
This afternoon, we had a special assembly called, Alaska Husky Spirit. Our guest speaker, Lorraine Temple was at The Ranch, with some of her huskies, to give a fantastic presentation on dog mushing and living in Alaska. She shared with us her adventures and character qualities that she needs, qualities such as perseverance, goal setting & teamwork. As she spoke we were easily able to see how she uses the 7 Habits and PRIDE to achieve her goals! Ask your child about it tonight!
English Language Arts
Reading: Students will begin working on their Book Projects which will be due after spring break. This is a change from what was noted in last week. Students will be reading their books in class and taking notes on the major events of the person they are studying.
Grammar: Direct Objects Review and Irregular Verb Review
Writing: Students will be working on Argument Writing. We will also continue to work on writing strong thesis statements.
Math
Students will continue working on recognizing opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line.
Students will also be working to understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on a number line. They should be able to interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation.
Science
Students will continue learning about inheritance and variation of traits. For example, why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and why sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.
aka: Why my brother has red hair and I have blond hair.
