Math: Let's keep practicing the partial quotients strategy for division. I'd like to see how you're doing at the end of the week. With more practice, will you be ready to move on to the next piece of the dividing puzzle?
L.A.: We have come to the end of our study of Refugee. I know from the number of you who've picked up other Alan Gratz books that this was a really good book for many. That's great, I like it too! We will turn our focus to more reading strategy work over these next two weeks.
Science: We are also coming to the end of our look at Body Systems. We now get to turn our attention to the skies. Our Solar System is a pretty interesting little corner of our galaxy. With long nights ahead over the next couple of months there will be opportunities for stargazing. For those hoping to get a head start, this year's Geminid meteor shower will peak on Saturday, Dec 13. If it is clear outside, and you can stay up late, bundle up and head out to your fave stargazing spot (Cattle Point is the nearest, though it can get busy). Hopefully the clouds will part for a little night sky show.
Writing: We will begin to explore Organization as a writing trait.
The Young Entrepreneurs Project launches this Thursday. More to come about this next week!
This is a busy time of year, with plenty of fun extras to come your way. Stay healthy, wash your hands, eat well and get lots of sleep, okay? Enjoy your week!
