We are wrapping up our unit on measurement! Key concepts that were examined are surface area, volume, conversion of cubed units, units of mass and units of capacity. We will be having our unit test on Thursday. Students are encouraged to study their learning goals sheets and notes, and practice multi-step problems at home.
English:
We are wrapping up out literature circles this week. We will be concentrating on a major assignment based on these books for the next few weeks. This will involve creating a plot summary, character analysis, definition of literary devices, among other things. Please ask your children about their progress on this project. We will begin next Monday.
Science:
We have about a week, week and a half left on air and flight. Students will be working on a flight poster or personal writing piece over the next few days. This is posted in google classroom.
Religion:
We are wrapping up a unit on family history and have created posters using the "makey-makey." Ask your kids about this. They are coding their voices! It is so cool!
We will begin preparing the Stations of the Cross presentation for the school this week. The date for this is March 22. If you'd like to come watch your child, please feel free. I am not sure on the time of this even yet.
Phys-Ed:
We continue with the beep test, aerobic activity, and sharpening basketball skills. We will begin a new health unit in March.
Arts:
We will be spending some serious time on drama with our Lenten presentation but will continue to dabble in studying various artists' techniques.
