January 19-January 22

Hello Everybody!

I hope everyone had a great three day weekend. I am excited to be back. The next few days are supposed to be extremely wet so please dress your student appropriately. Our camp information is due on Wednesday of this week. So far around ten of us have turned them in. I am so pumped. Thanks to all of those that came out to Family Fun Night last week we had a great turnout. I was happy everyone had the chance to see our Egypt project.

Now for this weeks plans:

Language Arts:
We are working on our persuasive essays. After we write these we will present them as speeches. I am a huge fan of practicing our public speaking. We are also doing our normal vocabulary work, grammar work, and essay structure work.

Math:
We are reviewing everything we have done thus far this year. We are also going to start working with fractions. You use a lot of fractions in cooking so we will be doing a lot of this during these lessons.

Social Studies/History
We will be finishing our clay models of Egypt and getting more into our more focused Egypt research projects.

Science:
We are getting into volcanoes this week. We will be constructing them out of 2 liter soda bottles. If you have any extra please bring them in.

MAPS:
We do not have art this week because we have no school Monday, but we will be having PE (most likely inside due to rain) on Friday.

Hope everyone has a great week. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
