Classroom Update- Week of Nov. 30
Ms. Craig and Mrs. King's Classroom News
What's Going on this week?
In science, we will be learning a little bit about optical engineering and testing out the principles of reflection and refraction tomorrow. We will be discussing forces and doing a spring scale investigation on Thursday. We will review Force, Energy, and Motion vocabulary throughout the week, review next Monday, and then take a Force, Motion and Energy test next Tuesday, December 8th.
In reading, we are inferring themes of folktales. Tomorrow students will read a play where they will learn a lesson from a trickster. They will continue to work on their camp books throughout the week. Next week, we will introduce the project that is to go along with the novel we have been reading, "Sky Jumpers." We will have another reading test on December 11th and another grammar test on December 14th.
In social studies, we are now discussing the American Revolution in full; events leading up to, during, and after the war. Students will participate in a mind mission tomorrow where they must create a signal to show "the British are coming." We will have a social studies test over the the American Revolution on December 10th.
We had an AMAZING TIME at camp!
