Feb 4 - 8

Math - we finished our newest unit on decimals, so we'll have the end of unit test on Thursday.  Practice estimating, multiplying and long division!

LA - keep reading and writing in your journals.  We've started working on a descriptive report - basically telling 'everything you ever wanted to know about ___'.  Not about a person, and not explaining why or how, just telling about.  Everyone has chosen a topic, and we've had a good chunk of time to begin researching.
Anyone who hasn't done their book commercial will do them on Monday.

Science - we've started a new unit - Flight!

SS - keep working on Heritage Fair projects.  We'll be presenting in a couple of weeks, so students should have a good plan by now as far as their final project: what it will look like, what they will need to complete it, etc.  Power Point presentations are nice, but not enough of a display for a project.  Try to find some other visuals - a poster, things for people to look at and explore, evidence of what you're talking about in your project.
