The upcoming week in academia...
Science: Part 1 of the Electricity Unit Test will be on Thursday, March 3rd. The test will cover: conductors vs. insulators (students should know the difference and examples of each); circuits (open, closed, parallel, and series); and static electricity. Students should use their notebooks to study as well as solpass.org and their study guide.
VA Studies: Before starting the Civil War Unit, I want students to finish their American Revolution Projects so I will be spending VA studies time for science to review electricity concepts.
Writing: Students will receive new word study words Monday, and are expected to complete an assignment each night. The assignments are listed in their notebook. Students have been practicing research and note-taking skills throughout their American Revolution project, as well as in their OTTW project. I will display the OTTW projects on the blog as soon as they are all done!
Reading: The research project is all consuming and students have learned to synthesize between texts and find credible sources. This week we will differentiate between primary and secondary sources. The class has done a phenomenal job getting ready for the Read-A-Thon, thank you for your support!

Lastly, because this is a Leap Year, each grade is putting something in a Pinebrook Time Capsule that will be opened in 2020. Each fourth grade class took a photograph of students with the book they are currently reading. Will the fourth graders of 2020 still be reading the same books???
