This week: We began a new Module: Rise to the Occasion. This module explores this essential question: What does it take to meet a challenge? We read an argumentative text, "Rent Party Jazz," and started writing opinion essays!
Next week: We will learn about point of view and elements of drama. We will continue exploring present, past and future progressive verbs and vowel Sounds /ou/, /o/. We will also finish up our opinion writing.

This week: We started our division work! We started with concrete models. This led into arrays and area model for division.
Next Week: We will continue division and look into how the models relate to the algorithm.
One acronym I use for the division steps is Does Mcdonalds Serve Cheese Burgers. This represents Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Check, Bring Down.

This Week : We explored solutions, what they are made of, and how mass of individual objects is conserved when they are created. We differentiated solutions from mixtures, as solutions make a new material and have an even distribution of substances throughout them.
Next Week : We will study for and take our Science Test (Tuesday 10/7) covering everything we have learned so far this year.
Matter (solids, liquids, and gasses) Temperature, Mass, Relative Density, Magnetism, Mixtures, Solutions, and the Conservation of Mass and Matter. If you would like to review this material with you student you can access their textbook through classlink and go to chapters 2 and 3. - (pages 23-102)

This Week : We began our week seven newspaper on Native American culture and government by region in Texas. These include the gulf region, plains region, puebloan region, and the southeastern region. We will learn about how they conducted trade and their tribal economy as well to complete a venn diagram showing similarities and difference between the tribes/regions. We took our test about the Native American tribes of Texas Friday (10/3).
Next Week : We will begin our week eight newspaper about the European explorers who came to the Americas and Texas from the 1200s to the 1600s. We will complete a group project over an explorer to learn about their lives and motivations for exploration.
