I'm sorry I am getting this out to y'all so late. Things are just as crazy at school as they are at home!
Reading
This week, students will finish reading about their famous person and taking notes. They have two reflection options that will be due on Friday.
Writing
We will put our editing and revising skills to the test this week as we work on science fair and our energy guides. Energy guides have a firm deadline of Friday, December 12. Any incomplete science fair pieces will need to be done at home over the break. Energy guide expectations can be found on Google Classroom.
Math
We are jumping back in with multi-digit multiplication. Students will learn various strategies to help them solve 4x1, 3x1, and 2x2 digit multiplication. We will also get started with some long division by the end of the week. Students were given an extra homework assignment for the week. They need to memorize all perfect square facts up to 15. For example, they need to know 3x3=9, 5x5=25, etc.
Science
This is our last week of our energy PBL. Students have selected an action step to advocate for energy conservation in our community. Each group needs to have their final product completed by Friday, December 12. They may do the action part (pass out fliers, talk with store managers, etc) at some point after Friday. Please chat with your kiddos about what they have decided to do to advocate for energy conservation in our community. I'm very proud of the great ideas they came up with! Science fair project boards will go home this week.
Texas History
We are going to learn about the Native Americans in the mountains and basins of Texas. Students will need to answer a few short questions about the way these early people were able to meet their needs on a daily basis.
