Reading- Greek Mythology
On Monday I will introduce a mythology project that focuses on personalized learning. Students may choose to work individually or in a small group to complete a project from a given list. Each group will be assigned a different myth. The project will include a written piece and a presentation. Students will be given time in class the weeks of 12/10 and 12/17 but should expect to do some work outside of class as well. The mythology project will be due on 12/20. I will be posting the project on Google Classroom on 12/10 if you are interested in viewing the details.
Social Studies - The Southeast
The chapter 6 TEST is scheduled for 12/12. A study guide will be sent home on 12/7. Students should review their textbook, workbook pages, note pages, and review pages to prepare for the test.
Science - Energy Conversions
Investigating how energy works in a system is the focus of our Science activities this week. Close reading is a skill that crosses curriculum. Below are some photos of students partner reading a text about energy in the past and present in order to synthesize the ideas they are reading with the concepts they have observed in our classroom simulations.
Mrs. Bell's Math Class - Unit 3 - Place Value & Decimals / Unit 4 - Multiplying & Dividing Whole Numbers and Decimals
We will then spend two days looking at multiplication and division of decimals.
In Unit 4 students will study and practice a variety of strategies for multiplication and division. We will begin with the Unit 4 Pre-Assessment which will I use as a tool for guiding instruction.
