For the week of Dec. 15-19

Brrrrrr!!!!!

Okay, now that I've gotten that out of the way....

Social Studies

Today and tomorrow we'll be using class time for students to work on their culturegram assignments. Finished packets are due on Wednesday. Wednesday we'll be watching a video about families in Egypt and on Thursday and Friday students will be taking and scoring the preliminary rounds of the National Geography Bee.

Language Arts

Today we finished up our notes on elements of persuasive writing. Students have until Wednesday to add pieces to their rough draft, which is when they need to bring a complete draft to class for a peer editing activity. A final copy, the rough draft, and notes are all due on Friday. The other two days of the week (in case you were keeping track) will be used for a timed-writing sample and reflection.


I'm keeping it brief because there is a high likelihood of having to change and adjust as Mother Nature plays havoc with our schedule this week.

Hoping you all keep safe and warm!
