Reading- Unit 2 - "Journeys" - A Poetic Journey
We will begin a novel study of the book Love that Dog, by Sharon Creech. Love that Dog is a free verse poem written in a diary format. It is written from the perspective of a young boy who resists poetry assignments from his teacher. Throughout his journey, he learns to appreciate, and to even enjoy, the art of poetry. As we read this book, we will continue to examine the literary elements of poetry, and students will create their own poetry book.
Social Studies - The Southwest
The chapter 10 TEST is scheduled for Monday, 5/1. A study guide was sent home on 4/24. We will complete the Southwest portion of our United States maps and then move on to the West, which is the final region of the year. (!)
Science - How Does your Body get Oxygen and Nutrients?
Our study of the human body begins with a look at the respiratory and digestive systems. We will also complete a lab in which we study the impact of movement on pulse rates.The Invention Convention was a HUGE hit! I loved seeing the creative ideas of our young scientists. A big THANK YOU to parents for supporting your child's efforts with this project!

Mrs. Bell's Math Class - Unit 6 - Graphing, Geometry & Volume
The Unit 6 TEST is scheduled for Monday, 5/1. On Tuesday, students will participate in a Breakout EDU that reinforces their knowledge about how to calculate volume. We will then move on to Unit 7 which is "Division & Decimals".
Students worked with ratios this week. They studied the relationship between the "hoist" and "fly" of flags and used that information to find surface area. Below are photos of them designing their own flags after calculating dimensions and area with their partners...
