History: This week in history, students are continuing their study of the Byzantine Empire, covering Emperor Justinian, Empress Theodora, and the Hagia Sophia. They will write an essay on the Empress and the church and take a short test on the Byzantine Empire. They will also be tested on the countries of Europe that we have been labeling in class.
Science: This week in science, students will use their lab observations to solidify their understanding of circuits. By the end of the week, the children will be able to explain how a series circuit is different from a parallel circuit and the advantages of parallel circuits in building a home. On Friday, students will learn how electricity can turn metal into a magnet.
Language Arts: Students have been deepening their understanding of sentence classification and sentence diagramming. Students will be able to use adverbs and adjectives (including article adjectives!) properly in sentences. In Literature, the mystery surrounding Great Grandma Irene will be revealed. In Spalding, students will study more words with more markings.
