Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we are beginning a two and a half day school-week! As we have a meaningful short week of instruction, I want to wish all families a happy Thanksgiving and I hope you all stay safe on the roads, those of you who may be traveling out of town.
This week in Science... we are wrapping up our matter unit! Students should be finishing up their study guides for the unit exams. This study guide is due Wednesday, Nov. 26. We will go over this guide together, as a class, on Wednesday. Students should be using this study guide to review for the test that will be on Tuesday, December 2. Other ways students can study are to visit "Arctic-Science" on ANGEL. Under "Units" and "Matter", there are some great power points that students can view to help review the content. There's even a Matter MEHpardy game that you can play at home to play with a friend, parent, or by yourself!
This week in Social Studies... students will begin reviewing important concepts from our European Explorers unit. Tuesday, students will be completing a graphic organizer in class that will help them narrow down their studying. Another great way to review for the test is to do the online tutorials from History Alive - Here's the link: History Alive Tutorial
Students should also visit angel and view the (wmv) video called "Explorers Unit Reivew" as a way of reviewing the material. This video can also be found at: www.vimeo.com/SS5. Remember... History Alive doesn't have everything. It will be necessary to use additional notes in the Social Studies spirals. If you are unsure whether your notes are complete, check out the Explorers unit under Social Studies on ANGEL - the notes are there as well. The unit test is on Friday, Dec. 5.
This week in Math... we are working on comparing and ordering decimals as well as rounding decimals . Next week we'll look in to adding and subtracting decimals as we wrap up our Number Sense/Addition & Subtraction unit.
Assignments:
Monday - WKS: Practice 2-11 - Exploring Comparing and Ordering Decimals
