We will be finishing out unit 6 by Mid May. Students will be given a study guide and will be allowed to use the notes on the strategies attached to the study guide during their test. I have made some tutorial videos on the multiplication and division strategies we are focusing on for you to reference if you would like.
ScienceStudents are currently working through Mystery 8 in our Energize Everything unit. In this mystery, students are exploring alternative forms of energy such as wind energy, water energy, and solar energy. They will come up with a plan for a fictional town on what type of energy will be best for them to use based on the location of the town and the resources available.

Some of the topics covered in our SEL lessons the remainder of the year include:
ELAStudents are beginning their greek mythology project. They have been researching a god or goddess and are now applying what they learned. They will have the choice to create a podcast, video, or comic in which they imagine their character in modern day life. Their project will be related back to their god or goddesses power. They will also be creating a trading card to represent their chosen god or goddess. This project will combine our reading and writing time.
After students finish their greek mythology project, they will briefly revisit folk tales and fairy tales. They will end the year with a 4th grade memory book for writing. |
