TODAY

I am hoping that your kids came home today and told you that we are beginning our study of electricity. We watched a great Bill Nye video on atoms, molecules, and elements. Your child brought home a copy of the Periodic Table of Elements, do you remember that thing that brought you many nights of study joy in high school??? Oh, yes, the memories! Anyway, the kids are to pick their top three element choices and tomorrow they will choose one to study in depth. They will be creating a powerpoint and doing a presentation on their element. Also, we are writing a music parody to the song, "I Gotta Feelin'" by The Black Eyed Peas. We are calling it, "I am an Element." Your child will include their own research on their element. mmmm hmmmm.

Here is our other work:
math - 5th grade TEST FRIDAY - tomorrow is review day. a study guide for unit 3 came home, they need to take care of this packet. page 1 and 2 for Unit 3 should be done carefully. 6th grade - link 3.6

spelling and fluency, of course

tomorrow is our reading test for Elena. Our focus will be the narrative elements, including types of conflict in the story (internal and external), protagonists, antagonists, as well as the basic characters, setting, and plot. Don't forget the MORAL!!
