elling - Unit 21 - Relative Adverbs, Relative Pronouns, Reading content words
This week's lesson includes the spelling and application of relative adverbs, relative pronouns, and content words. A relative adverb relates back to a time, place or reason to provide more details about a noun. A relative pronoun relates back to something or someone else. The reading content words are familiar to students, and they should be able to spell them and to apply them (Example: identify a simile or a metaphor.)The final TEST is scheduled for Friday, 3/7.
Reading- Unit 2 - "Journeys"
We have had many interesting conversations about vocabulary and use of language within the novel, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Our "Executive Archeologists" will continue to dig into chapters 1-5 of the novel during the week of 3/4.
There is a QUIZ on using context clues to determine the meaning of vocabulary from chapters 1-2 scheduled for 3/4.

The research for the Just Look Book project is due on Wednesday, 3/6. Students will have time in school to begin the slides, but the majority of the work will be completed outside of school. The goal is to present them on Friday, 3/8.
Science - Energy Conversions
Last week, our classroom engineers had the opportunity to work with others to create a wind turbine that had to meet certain criteria. Below are photos of them collaborating to design their models. The short videos show the engineers testing their turbines.
During the week of 3/4, the groups will revisit their models to improve their designs.
