Next Week: We will continue our unit over data analysis. This week we will dive into stem-and-leaf plots and using them to solve problems. 

Please try and work on multiplication facts at home. Having those memorized helps multiplying multi-digit numbers and division. 

This Week : We finished moon phases and began patterns of change (water cycle and the sun). We explored why the water cycle occurs and how it relates to other recurring themes and patterns we can observe in science. 

Next Week : We will continue to explore the water cycle and Earth's patterns as a whole. Students will learn the terms humidity, water vapor, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and rehearse our water cycle song!

This Week : We discovered the US Declaration and Constitution and how they are similar to the Texas documents. We discussed government roles and the bill of rights, as well as the purpose/structure of national government. 

Next Week : We will review for our social studies Unit 5 test on Thursday, covering the events following the Texas Revolution, Texas as a state, and successes/failures of the Republic. We will complete an assignment about ratifying amendments and explore the Bill of Rights.
