Reading: Last week, we finished our interactive read-aloud book Holes by Louis Sachar. Early this week students will think about the symbolism present in the novel and create a blog post reflecting their thinking. We will watch the movie version of the story Friday of this week. Students also finished their literature circle books last week as well. They will be creating book jackets for the students who will be reading these texts next year; they will create an illustration for the cover, write a summary of the novel, reflect on how perspective was present in the text, and then give the book a rating.
Writing: Students will type their compare/contrast articles about Chicago and the city the studied during social studies. They will finish and publish their final drafts Tuesday!
Math: Students will continue reviewing more challenging concepts present in math this year. Today they will be reviewing adding/subtraction fractions with unlike denominators, and tomorrow they will solve "fraction of" and "percent of" problems.
Science: As a final assignment/project this week, students will be given a description of a habitat and then will have to create their own organism based on the adaptations, or physical and behavioral characteristics they think the animal will need to survive.
