piece of their choice. We will look at the process of choosing a topic,

peers to edit/review their own writing when it is complete. This piece will be
our last formal writing piece for the year.

We are looking at figures that have the same area but different perimeters.
Ways we can find the area of various shapes. Also calculating the volume of 3D
shapes.

be looking at human-made sources of light, positive and negative aspects of
light exposure. We will experiment with light/shadows and use various optical
devices.

 

 
 

French: French we are continuing our unit with
family/friends and how to describe people (both physical and personality
characteristics).

 



Health- This week we are starting to
talk about puberty and the effect it has the body. I encourage you to talk with
students about what we are learning and if they have any questions about these
topics.
