Week of January 27th

Math: continue on fractions, chapter 8. 
Recipe Project:
This is just a reminder that this week the students were given the instructions on a recipe project.  It is due on February 12th.  They can present it however they want as long as the requirements are met.  Also it is optional, but I am encouraging the students to bring in their creations to share with the class.  Math  1 has 24 students and Math 2 has 29 students.  There are no severe allergies (the students have a list of them)  in either room.  If you have any questions please refer to the sheet in your child’s math folder first. 

Science:
This week the students are beginning a space choice board.  The kids are responsible for choosing and successfully completing projects that interest them.  They will be completing these research-based activities here in the room, but most certainly can read at home.

Space resource websites:


Reading:  This week, students are resuming the Weekly 5. The tasks for this week:

Work on Writing: King George III was taxing the colonists for the French and Indian War. Do you think he was right? Was it a fair tax?  Should the colonists have been responsible for paying for a war fought in the colonies?  Use reasons and evidence based on things we have read in class. 

Word Work:  Greek and Latin Roots hydra=water, aud=to hear, dict= to say

Listen to Reading:  Study Island 3d:  Academic Language

Reading Skill:  Sons of Liberty passage and comprehension

Read to Self:  Read a "Just Right" book and work on Eagle Eyes

Social Studies:  We are continuing to learn about causes leading up to the American Revolution. This week, we will complete a Skittles activity to represent colonists feelings about taxation, analyze the Join or Die political cartoon created by Benjamin Franklin, learn about the Townshend Acts and the  Boston Massacre.
