Sorry for the late update!
In math, we are focused on Chapter 14, practicing our long division skills. Also, we are continuing to study area/perimeter and types of angles.
For language arts, students are putting the finishing touches on their fiction pieces. We are trying to have interesting leads for our stories that put the reader right into the action of the story.
In science, we are completing labs on matter and energy, studying physical and chemical changes as well as building electrical circuits.
Social studies has taken a backseat to science, but we are studying Missouri post-Civil War. Students are building books (in class) to show timelines of events after the Civil War. We are learning about women's suffrage, WWI & WWII, and other major events that shaped the world.
In reading, students are practicing cause-and-effect and developing their abilities to use figurative language.
PRISM projects are going well-- every Friday we make time for PRISM work time. Students can research, create, and assemble as needed. I am available to answer their questions and help, too.
