Happy Friday!

I am so proud of all my students who have showed up on zoom ready to go! Please give your student a huge shout out for me.

** To support students on Wit and Wisdom I am expecting student to turn in assigned Handout pages on the greatminds website. So far I have looked at Handout 16A and 17B. If those pages have not been turned in, please remind your student to do so so I can continue to help them. If you do not know how to turn in a Handout page on the greatminds website, please refer to the Navigating Wit and Wisdom Online guide on the Wit and Wisdom tab on Google Classroom.

** 13A Reading Fluency hw is due on Google Classroon.

** Students should also be turning in math homework on Google Classroom.

** chapter 5 math test is due on Google Classroom.

Wit and Wisdom:

We are now studying space. Mainly working with why Galileo studied the stars and putting events in chronological order, writing conclusion paragraphs, and finding the essential meaning of a text. We will be moving into our next arc which is how did the astronauts on Apollo 11 learn about space.

Math:

Chapter 5 is developing a concept of whole number operations.

Science:

Our next unit we will start next week is life cycles and traits. Students will learn about the life cycle of plants and animals. They will also learn about different traits within populations and species. As well as environmental and survival traits.

Social Studies:

We are starting our Viking unit. Learning about Viking myths and reading some as well. Students will learn about Eric the Red, where the Vikings explored and what they were best at. One talent being master ship builders among many others.
