February 9-13

This week in reading we are working on explaining event, procedures, and ideas. We will reading science and social studies texts and explaining the events, procedures, and ideas in them. We are doing our last essay for homework this week. We are answering the question: Should computers grade students essays? Again, students need to do a web, rough draft on lined paper, type it into Google docs and share it, and put it in My Access.

This week in writing we are taking our writing test! We will be working on this in the afternoons today, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Students will be required to write a short informative/explanatory essay, as well as a persuasive/opinion essay. Students should apply all that we have learned in class on these essays! We will also be writing fun, imaginative essays in class. We will finish them by next Friday in class.

This week in math we are finishing our mixed numbers and fractions unit. We will do word problems with mixed numbers and learn about line plots with fractions. On Friday we will take our test for this unit.

In social studies we will learn about the first people other that Native Americans who came to Utah. These people were explorers and mountain men. We will talk about the different people who came and what they did.

On Friday we will be having our Valentines Day party. Students should bring some type of box for exchanging Valentines. If students bring Valentines to exchange in class, they need to bring one for every student in the class. We have 28 students in class. If you signed up to help for our party, make sure you remember to come help! We are excited to have you come and celebrate with us!
