ELA: Students will continue working on identifying and understanding text evidence. They will look at opinion writing samples so they can see examples of effective and not-so-effective arguments. Additionally, we are about halfway through Gathering Blue and students are gaining a deeper understanding of the elements of a dystopian novel. We are also delving into symbolism and seeing excellent examples of how authors use rich details to show and not just tell.
ELA Homework: Vocabulary, Read for 30 minutes daily

Math: We are beginning our unit on fractions and this week we are focusing on making equivalent fractions and adding fractions with like and unlike denominators.
Science: We are completing several hands-on activities and lessons that focus on electricity this week. It should be electrifying!
Social Studies: We are continuing to look at different migrations and what motivated them. Last week we compared and contrasted three sources about African American migration. Students created a cause and effect thought map that included the details about when and why African Americans left the south. This week we will discuss westward migration, the Transcontinental Railroad, and forced Native American removal.
Here are some questions your child should be able to answer by the end of the week:
What was the economic impact of the Western Cattle Trails?
Patrick drank 34 liter of water Monday before jogging. He drank 45 liter of water after his jog. How much water did Patrick drink altogether? Write your answer as a mixed number.
