Updates and announcements
Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving
break!
Our week in learning
This week in Writing we are practicing
our persuasive writing skills by writing an essay from the point of view of the
poor Thanksgiving Day Turkey! We will also take the time to share these
essays with the class on Tuesday, hopefully your students won’t request pizza
for their Thanksgiving dinner!
We have almost completed Where
the Red Fern Grows. Students should have be working on their projects for
the 100 Point Project. These are due December 9th.
Students will recite, “I Hear America
Singing” on Tuesday. The next roots quiz will be on Wednesday, November
30th.
To deepen our understanding of cells, we will be learning the
difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Then, we will begin
learning about the various organelles found in eukaryotic cells. There will be
a ton of brand new vocabulary so I suggest that students make flash cards of
the new terms and study them daily.
This week, students will review for the history test. Students
will be assessed on their knowledge of the Renaissance on Tuesday, November
22nd.

division of fractions. We will begin with concrete examples and will then
