This week in language arts, we completed our work on persuasive writing and the use of outlines. We posted our writing on our websites. In social studies, we studied the Declaration of Independence. Learners chose a task to complete to highlight their knowledge of the Declaration and its history. Many learners chose to persuade others that the move towards independence was necessary. We loved getting to hear all the presentations! Some of our classes also had the chance to participate in a Twitter chat to discuss citizenship with other schools around the country. They were able to share great ideas and also hear new ideas from others!
Math and Science:
In math this week, we did activities to explore geometry and measurement. We measured objects around our classroom to find the area, perimeter, and volume of them. We are also beginning to review all of our past concepts for math in order to help prepare for our Math STAAR test on March 29th. We also continued to have conversations about fossil fuels and alternative energy.
