In Language Arts, students will spend the next week completing the end of unit assessment, combining all recent learnings in order to produce a new informational text. Students will choose a nonfiction topic, identify & locate relevant resources, make a plan and select text structures that are most relevant. They will select headings & subheadings, research, take notes and paraphrase key words and ideas within their report. Students will draft their writing and revise using ARMs And CUPs.
Math
This week in math the students will be reviewing unit 6 (Operations with Fractions) and then will be taking the assessment. Our next unit will be converting fractions into decimals.
Science
This week students will consider how rocks around the world are shaped, broken, worn down, and exposed. They will be introduced to a new question and phenomena: Why Desert Rocks Canyon has so much more exposed rock than nearby Keller’s Canyon. They will use the book "Rocky Wonders" to learn about how rock is weathered and eroded over time.
