With the craziness of MEAP this week and last week, I have neglected my job of updating the website...
Today we took the Math MEAP- so no extra math lesson...we did start Chapter 3 yesterday which is about solving linear equations (algebra stuff!)
In Writing we are continuing to work with Argument Papers. Monday's lesson was the dos and don'ts of introductions, and today we focused on conclusions. Tomorrow will be a day for typing up our papers in study island.
In History we have started Chapter 6 which covers the Revolutionary War. Patriots and Tories alike, we talk about them all. Today we covered section 1, the Early Wars....not so hot for the new country! Students need to complete the end of section questions 2-4 and 7.
Science has been focused on Matter and States of Matter. Yesterday we looked at the craziness that is Dry Ice, looking about its unique properties like sublimation. Today we looked about the kinetic energy of water at different temperatures.
