Team Delta

Social Studies:  

We are beginning a new unit on the Holocaust and WWII, which will be in alignment with ELA's unit on the Holocaust. In this unit we will be exploring the essential questions of "Why did the Holocaust happen? What choices did people make and why? How can he make sure this never happens again?" 

This week (5/4) we will be learning about the "Final Solution," and the end of the Holocaust during World War II. We will be finishing a movie on Irena Sendler, then doing a reading on the Holocaust, and learning about an individual in the Holocaust. 

Language Arts:  In ELA, we are currently studying, "The Voices of the Holocaust." Students have successfully completed 'Maus I.' Students are now reading informational accounts of "upstanders" during the Holocaust to learn more about how and why many people took action against Hitler and the Nazis during the Holocaust.

Science: 

We wrap up our natural selection unit with learning why humans have a variety of skin colors (natural selection!). Tuesday, we have our final assessment about natural selection.

Next, we begin our unit on weather (Wednesday or Thursday) by observing hail storm data from around the country!
