Quadrilaterals
Early colonial times
Students have embarked on the social studies colonial study period. We will move from New England to Middle colonies and finish up with Southern colonies.
Opinion writing
This week students will begin an opinion piece where they get to should for or against the proposed topic. Student's position is there choice, but they need to support whichever side they choose. The topic is about bicycle racks.
We are working on developing ideas with examples and explaining how those examples serve our big idea. Paragraph focus and development of one idea is the current challenge for our kids. They are so full of ideas that they want to 'hop' from one to another rather than slow down and explain a particular point in detail.
