Thursday, January 10th

ELA - Students spent time revising their writing using the questions their partners wrote for them.  We concluded Language Arts by analyzing the plot in The Giver.  We have our weekly library time on Thursdays and today, Mrs. Dennis taught the first installment of her Cybersafety series.  It was informative and entertaining!

Math - Mrs. Washington lead a lesson in modeling fraction division and students took a formative assessment at the end of class.  It's a difficult concept to understand; however, students are starting to understand how to model fraction division.  Next week students will be placed in small learning groups based on how they performed on the formative assessment.

Science - We watched, discussed, and took notes on the "Atoms" and "Property Changes" BrainPop videos.  Students observed an example of a physical change (ripping paper into smaller pieces) and a chemical change (burning paper).
