Classroom Update: 2/11/17

This week, students began writing journal entries from the perspective of a child in seventeenth century Massachusetts. They used the knowledge that they gained from our readings over the course of our integrated social studies and literacy unit on the pilgrims.

In science, we used weather data to predict the forecast for a very snowy week!

In writing, students prepared their informational books for publishing. We are looking forward to our writers' celebration next Friday!

We continue to strengthen our knowledge of area and perimeter in math. Yesterday, we worked on a rigorous area and perimeter problem from this month's home practice menu. Students shared their great strategies with one another in a problem solving forum.
