This week
in Class:
History: This week,
students will enjoy a serf/lord activity in which they will take on the roles of
lords and serfs. This is in line with the theme of servitude and cooperation.
Students will have a peer discussion about the medieval Code of Chivalry.
Science: Having
completed their study of electricity, students will now proceed to a study of living things. They'll begin with a unit on plants, photosynthesis, and
vascular versus non-vascular plants.
Language
Arts: This week in Language Arts, students will write
their first major essay of the year. This is a step-by-step process, and each step will be carefully outlined and monitored by the teacher. In Literature, students will read "Emil and the
Detectives," a wonderful story. This is a read-aloud and students are not
required to have a copy of their own. In Spalding there will be more words and
more markings.
Math: On Monday, we will wrap up our review of order of operations and negative numbers before the test. On Tuesday, we will continue the unit on order of operations and proceed into multiplication and division.
