Vocabulary- This week we'll be working in our vocab workbooks on the Unit 10 definitions. Our test will be on Thursday.
Writing- In preparation for President's Day, the students will write about why they'd make a good presidential candidate. We'll look at the requirements to be a U.S president as well as some current issues. Then the students can weigh in as to where they stand on the issues! This should be interesting!!!
Reading - This week in Reading my group will be reading and discussing Chapters 9 and 10 from The Black Pearl in our Literature Circle groups. The group discussions are improving and the students are really starting to learn from one another! We'll have a vocabulary quiz over the words from chapters 5-10 this Friday.
Social Studies/Science - We are working on Science Unit 1A on cells. We'll continue to work with Lesson 1 this week. We'll be learning about types of tissue, the digestive system, and the circulatory system. We're adding to our notes daily. They will serve as an excellent study guide prior to our chapter test.
