Week of Dec. 7th

There is no homework for this week.

Here is what we worked on this week.

LA- Students were finalizing their snowman stories by adding their revisions, creating a title page and publishing their work on the computer. 

Math- Continuing to work on their addition and subtraction skills the students created a board game and used problem solving questions as one component of their game. In a small group they had to invent the theme for their game and incorporate adding and subtraction questions as a skill component to advance in the game.

Science- Students investigated the specific details of frogs and isopods in terms of their life cycle and habitat. 

                                                                                    

Social- Our focus this week was looking at the mountain people of Peru and how their environment effects their quality of life.
