Curriculum Information for this Week:

Literacy: The students will be taking the NonFiction OnDemand Post Assessment this week.  This assessment will help see the students growth through the unit and what our goals will be next semester to continue developing as writers.  Following on with our science integration, students will also be working on turning their energy writing into PSAs or podcasts.

Math: As we move forward in our decimals unit, students are learning to add and subtract decimals.  We have multiple tools and strategies to help students develop conceptual understanding.  As the week continues, they will choose ways that are most efficient to them.

Unit of Study:

Students will be finishing up their innovative energy making prototypes.  They will be sharing their ideas with other classes on Thursday as an end of project celebration.  The students have some great design ideas!
