L.A. - One thing that will run in the background over the next few weeks is the Bookworm book review project. It is officially underway - you should now all have a book to read, and many of you are well into reading that book. This week we'll discuss the elements you will need to put together to create your review, and we'll explore some samples.
Writing - This week we will continue our look at the Organization writing trait. We'll explore sequencing ideas to create and clarify meaning. The How-To Comic will involve building and combining written and visual texts into a single piece.
Math - Dividing multi-digit numbers is becoming more familiar to many of you. We'll extend our understanding of division through estimating quotients, finding average, and solving in-context word problems.
Social Studies - This week, we'll watch a fantastic film that puts your daily journey to school into perspective. On the Way to School follows four groups of children from their remote homes as they travel to school. We all have the right to an education. Here at Monterey we are prone to taking that right for granted. The epic journeys of the students in the film should help to highlight the value of education - that getting to school is worth the enormous effort it takes some to get there.
Science - We will pick up where we left off before the break, looking at how the Sun, Earth and Moon rotate and revolve, and how these movements affect life on Earth.
Young Entrepreneurs Project (YEP) - we'll begin looking at this project in its initial stages later this week.
Enjoy your week, everyone!
