Next week we will be working on the following topics:
ELA: This week we are taking a break from our Journeys unit and focusing strictly on Germany. We will complete a KWHL chart on Germany, learn about the flag, decorate our Germany suitcases, learn to count to 10 in German, participate in some German Readers Theaters (plays), learn about Oktoberfest, and more! Then Thursday we will have our big OKTOBERFEST CELEBRATION! Students should wear their traditional German outfits Thursday. We will also begin our new Roald Dahl book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, that ties right into our science unit on matter.
Math: We will continue spiraling through our Saxon math, focusing specifically on identifying polygons, fractions, adding 9 and adding 10, using logical reasoning and acting to solve problems, and creating color patterns.
Science: We will continue in our matter unit, focusing on solutions/mixtures, changing states of matter, and gases.
International: It's GERMAN WEEK!
