Next two weeks at a
glance:
History: We continue our voyage to the Middle Ages.
This week, students will learn about life in a castle. Was it comfortable? Was it
safe? Was it luxurious? Then, they learn about knights and chivalry. Next week
is Chivalry Week. This is an awesome week as students are paired up as knights
and ladies and the code of chivalry plays out in our classroom. Chivalry week
ends with a medieval discussion and ice cream party.
Science: We continue the unit on
geology. Students will discuss faults, earthquakes, and volcanoes. Students
will create their own volcanoes! There will be a test next week.
Language Arts: We continue reading Robin Hood. Courage,
valor, thievery, love, and death are all discussed as we enter the world of
Nottingham and Sherwood Forest. There will be numerous writing assignments and
daily discussions. Stop on by to see a discussion! In
grammar, students will continue diagramming as they learn adjectives and
article adjectives.
Math: Students will move through multiplication
and then…FRACTIONS!! This is an exciting unit and there are many hands-on
activities.
