This week…

Math – We are taking the final math test of the year on Wednesday.  This will be a make up test where where students will be asked to answer any questions they missed on the geometry review test.  Students have the review test, as well as two other reviews, in their possession to study from.

Reading/Writing – We are continuing to read and write poetry.  Our focus will be on figurative language as we study how poets use similes and metaphors to express themselves in their poetry.  Students will then be asked to add similes and metaphors to their own poems.

Science – We will be taking another look at circuits this week as students explore conductors and insulators.  Students will also attempt to add a “switch” to their circuits.  All of this will be done through hands-on group exploration.
