This week: We read historical fiction and explored plot elements. We finished our descriptive writing and shared with our classmates! We also had a unit assessment on Friday.
Next week: We will begin a new Module: Rise to the Occasion. This module will explore this essential question: What does it take to meet a challenge? We will read an argumentative text, "Rent Party Jazz," and start writing opinion essays!

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 mixtures, what they are made of, and how mass of individual objects is conserved when they are created.
Next Week : We will explore solutions, what they are made of, and how mass of individual objects is conserved when they are created. We will differentiate solutions from mixtures, as solutions make a new material and have an even distribution of substances throughout them.

This Week : We began our week five newspaper about the first people to live in the Americas. The native tribes of Texas and their traits. These include Apache, Comanche, Wichita, Caddo, Jumano, Karankawa, and Tonkawa. We talked about their culture, their way of life, and their immense respect for the land they lived on.
Next Week : We will begin our week six newspaper on Native American culture and government by region in Texas. These include the gulf region, plains region, puebloan region, and the southeatern 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.
