What a Fun-Filled Week!
In Math, we finished up learning about decimal division and moved on to Geometry. We will be studying the properties of shapes and measuring angles.
Review your decimal division with the following video.
In Language Arts, we finished up our Tall Tales and reviewed inferences and summaries. Next week we will begin reading The Kite Fighters using a Literature Circle format as we review and enhance the skills we have learned during the past two units!
In Science, we conducted experiments that taught us about convection currents. You can review the lessons here.
Next week we will use water bottles, syringes and tubes to learn about atmospheric pressure and air compression! It's always fun when we get to learn by "doing!" Parents can help out by letting their scientists reteach them the information!
Check out this video if you need a little help!
Next week, they will be discussing the election and the election process. Students will be able to "register" to vote and will even be given the opportunity to cast their own votes on Tuesday!

Next week, we will be working very hard getting ready for conferences. Students will be reflecting on the year so far to determine the areas in which they glow and the areas in which they need to grow. From these reflections, they will be determining reasonable goals and developing specific objectives to help them meet their individual goals. It is a life lesson for them and an amazing experience! I am sure you will be just as impressed with their visions and maturity as I am! We can't wait to share at our conferences.
If you have not already done so, please return your request for conference time as soon as possible!
