Week of May 25 - 29

I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day and was able to get lots of rest!

This week in science... we will continue with our geology unit as we explore ocean currents as well as how knowledge about sound helps scientists explore the deep ocean. Students should be working on their ocean animal models. Models should be 3-D, homemade, and have a moving part (i.e. no solid blocks of model magic)... be creative!

This week in Social Studies... we are taking a deeper look at slavery in the US by acting out the stories of 7 slaves. Students have read about these real characters and are ready to answer questions in a talk show-like format.

This week in Math... we are exploring geometric solids! How will our knowledge of polygons help us understand and analyze the properties of pyramids and prisms?
