Here are a few things we're working on this week:
- Reading and Writing ~ Reading for research (gathering information to use for the writing work we are doing, which is a (chapter) informational book on a specific weather topic)
- Math ~ Wrapping up Unit 8 on fractions...Test Monday! Beginning Unit 9 on Tuesday.
- Social Studies ~ What would happen if we could create our own country? One man did just that! For our final project/summative, students will be creating their own country, which includes the formation of their own government, currency, budget, and institutions. If you are interested in seeing this project, click here. We began the project today and the class was buzzing with excitement about the possibilities!! We would like to wrap this up by Thursday and I'll be giving the students time in class to complete it.
- Science ~ New unit on extreme weather begins May 10, God willing!
- Word Study ~ We've regrouped our students based on their specific spelling abilities and things are going very well. Students go to their specific classes/teachers every Sunday through Thursday from 9:10-9:30 (with the exception of Tuesdays).
And, here are some extras, just for fun...
- Reminder to come join us for a Mother's Day Morning Tea on Thursday!
- Congratulations to Princess Kate and Prince William on the birth of their precious daughter. We predicted names this afternoon, so we'll see who guessed correctly very soon!
