WEEK OF MARCH 26-30th

ROOM 12 UPDATE
* This week we will be busy with English Language Arts! We are reading new stories about Encounters with Nature from HM.
* We are taking ANOTHER exciting Benchmark Test in Language Arts.
* In writing we have a fun essay prompt from the district about "changes that we would like to see at our school" The class already has numerous ideas!
* Last week I gave out the A.R. goals for the final trimester and I will post them online this week.
* The main thrust of homework this week will be The Heritage Project and Science Projects. I am helping each child refine their Investigative Questions, which will drive the rest of the project. We will fill out a form this week with our: Hypothesis, Methods, Materials and go over a timeline of due dates.
* To help guide the Heritage Project, I will go over each required section.
* In Science we will take our test on Water this week. The study guide is a link on the side of the blog.
* In Reading at home we will go over Science World. This week we will learn about the Physics of Angry Birds, among many other things!

Another break is almost here!
Have a great week,
Mr. Sweet
