Spelling - Unit 20 - Homographs
This week's list includes homographs, which are sets of words that are spelled the same but have different meanings (Examples: bank or ring). The final TEST is scheduled for Friday, 3/6.
Reading - Journeys
As we continue through our second unit on Journeys, we will close read a Garth Brooks song, called "The River." We will see what kind of journey he talks about in his lyrics.
Next, we will move into a novel called The Miraculous Adventures of Edward Tulane.
We will revisit similes and metaphors, as we venture through unit 2!
Social Studies - Chapter 8, Lesson 1, 2, 3 The Midwest & Chapter 9- Lesson 1 only: The Ojibwa
We will finish Chapter 8 and review. Then we will study Chapter 9, only Lesson 1, about the people of the Midwest. The test on Chapter 8, Lessons 1, 2, 3, and Ch. 8, L. 1 will most likely be on Friday, March 6.
Science - Energy Conversions
Synthesizing ideas about system failure and studying the electrical grid are the topics for the week.
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) - Solving Problems Part 1
The lesson concepts that will be taught include knowing that following steps can help you solve problems, saying the problem without blame is respectful and that solving problems helps you be successful at school. By the end of the week, students will be able to say the problem step of the "Problem-Solving Steps" and state a problem without blaming anyone.
