Week 35: Solids, Colonial Fair, and American Revolution

Welcome to Week 35! 

This week in math we will be completing our solids chapter of math.  This week students will be working on surface area of solid objects, views of solids, volume, irregular shapes and solids, and story problems with pictures. This chapter will challenge our students, but also prepare them for some of these geometry sections that they will get next year. 

In reading this week we are going to finish The Sign of the Beaver. We are going to start two different projects in reading that are both connected to the American Revolution. We are going to spend the first half an hour on non-fiction reading. With the non-fiction reading, we are going to work on identifying key facts and sequencing those facts.  The second part of reading will focus on a historical fiction that takes place during the American Revolution.  We will continue to work on the completeness of our answers; using evidence from the text. 

Remember that our Colonial Fair will be this Wednesday from 2:05-2:45pm in rooms 18 and 20. The students have been working very hard to complete their presentation, finalize their brochures and prepare their artifacts. Come and enjoy their hard work.  Be sure to sign in at the office when you arrive at school.

That's it for now.  Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
