We've had a busy few weeks in the 4/5 challenge classroom! Check out what we've been up to...
Writing: we wrapped up our research and argument writing papers. Each student gave a Power Point presentation on their chosen topic. Each student presented an opinion with evidence on a societal issue. We will begin writing our own myths when we return from break.
Reading: We are wrapping up our study of the American Revolution on Monday. We have put into action many non-fiction reading strategies. We have become excellent at annotating and participating in whole class and small group discussions. We will read a story from our Junior Great Book series next week prior to break. After break we will begin a study of myths.
Social Studies: Nifty Fifty States are memorized! Everyone in our class did an absolutely impressive job on the final 50 states and capitals test.
Science: We will begin our Matter unit of study on Monday. We will kick off learning about the three states of matter. We will be doing several hands on and interactive labs with this unit!
Please note that ISTEP testing begins a week after we return from break. We will begin the on-line testing on Monday, April 18th. Again, please try to avoid any morning appointments this week. Thanks in advance for your help with this.
Have a very Happy Easter and a Superb Spring Break!!!!
