Week of 12/2

Here's what we'll be doing on our first week of school in each subject!

• Reader's Workshop:  We will focus on what author's do to make our books interesting.  We'll also choose Words to Learn from our reading or writing to study in Word Study this week.

• Math:  We will complete our study of Unit 3, comparing decimals.  Then we'll review and take our Unit 3 test and Unit 4 Pre-test.

• Writing:  We will continue our Biography unit, writing and editing and revising our paragraphs.

• Social Studies: We will start our Economics Unit, with lessons on scarcity.

• Science: We will continue our Woven Wind unit, a cooperative unit with UM Engineering students about renewable energy.  

• Team Building:  We'll meet with our Reading Buddies and talk about "soft and scratchy" words to use with our friends.
