Week of 3.18.19

Highlights for the Weeks of 3/18/2019
in Mrs. Bell's Classroom

Spelling -  Unit 23 - Words with "oi" and "oy" & Proverbs

 This week's list includes words with the letters "oi" and "oy". Students will learn that these letter combinations make the same sound and are both diphthongs. "Oy" is usually found at the end of a syllable and "oi" is usually found in the middle of a syllable. We will also study proverbs - what they are and what some of them mean. The final TEST is scheduled for Friday, 3/22.

Reading- Unit 2 - "Journeys" - The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
We will continue to read our novel while focusing on how to answer text-dependent questions and open responses. There will be an open book QUIZ on chapters 7-10 of Edward Tulane on Thursday, 3/21.

Social Studies - The Navajo 

We study the culture and traditions of the Navajo people, who are the Native Americans from the Southwest region. We will also complete the Midwest portion of the U.S. Map.

The students did a marvelous job on their Midwest Just Look Book project and have shown tremendous growth in their presentation skills. Below are some photos from the presentations...

Science - Energy Conversions
We will continue to write the design arguments using evidence to support our solution for the blackouts in Ergstown.

Mrs. Bell's Math Class - Unit 6 - Graphing, Geometry & Volume

We will study how to describe and graph patterns and also do some enrichment work with the coordinate plane. 

FYI...

3/25-3/29 - Spring Break (No school)

I cannot say enough positive things about our field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry. The kids had a blast and learned a lot about energy. A huge THANK YOU to the parent chaperones who spent the day with us. I hope you enjoy the pictures of your children at the museum.
