Here is what we are learning:
PE – We have been reviewing salsa and swing dance and this week we will work on the waltz and 2-step. Be sure your child is practicing the steps at home and teaching you how to do the waltz, which will be the parent/child dance on 5/19.
Math – We have been determining, range, median, mean and mean absolute deviation of given data as well as analyzing dot plots and histograms. This week we will learn how to describe variability using interquartile range and analyzing box plots. This is our last week of new lessons in Statistics.
Language Arts – Students should be done researching the problem to their research project. This week they will research the possible solutions and will begin to develop plans for their presentation. I am encouraging them to try a presentation other than Google Slides, such as a brochure, video, presentation board, etc.
Writing – Argument and narratives assessments will be administered this week.
Social Studies – Students are working on their ancient Roman newspaper which includes 5 required articles.
All projects (including presentations) will be completed within the next 3 weeks.
