Announcements/Reminders:
Every Tuesday is ‘college day’ attire, and every Friday is ‘Hawk Pride’ blue and gold attire day. We encourage students to wear clothing to show their pride on those days!
What's Happening This Week:
Language Arts: As we continue to read Stargirl, students are learning how to synthesize information and write concise summaries of what they have read. They are also learning how to prepare for literature circle discussions by choosing a couple of unfamiliar vocabulary words to study and answering higher-order thinking questions about the week’s reading.
- Weekly work: Book Notes (pages 30-56), Literature Circle Preparation (pages 30-56), Single paragraph organizer
Social Studies: We will continue working on map skills and create and study a map of the ancient world. Students will also learn about the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World and research one of those wonders in small groups. Those groups that complete their research cards on Thursday will be able to begin a Google Earth technology project on Friday.
- Weekly work: Warmup log, Maps of Ancient World
- Project: Group research notecards due Friday
