Book Project:  Next Book Project is due March 29. They are creating a book jacket for their book. Some students have not given me their title yet.

MATH:    
There are math tutorials and practice in the order of lessons in the MATH Tab
 
We have had shortened math sessions because of swimming. We will be continuing to review all division concepts and have the test the week of March 10. 

LANGUAGE ARTS 
Writing: We are writing a newspaper called The Hawkeye Press using a google form. Each student is writing interview questions and then will interview someone and write this up for the paper. Students are also working in pairs to write a true or fictional account of an event that sounds true with a partner. We are working on using appropriate tone for a newspaper among other standards.
 
READING: 
 
This week I shared a video showing the meteor event that occurred in Chelyabinsk in Russia a few years back. Then we read an article about this event and had some discussion. This ties in with our current science unit. Next week we will continue to work with nonfiction strategies. I shared a video about Alcatraz on Friday to prepare kids for our article about the famous island prison. If you ever get to San Franciso, it is an interesting tour!
SCIENCE
Students have had material to study for our upcoming Solar System assessment. It is quite short.We will then work on a project in small groups focusing on planets, and dwarf planets. After this we will have the remainder of the assessment. Students will use what they learn during this research project to answer test questions.
 
Word Study 
 Students took the lesson 21 skill test. Next week's skill lesson is using suffixes.
