Academics (Summary of Last Week)

Math- Student are working on representing and naming fractions with area, set, and number line models. We started working on Frax, which is a computer program to help them with fractions. It has all sorts of good visual models and it's very engaging.

Reading- Students read several articles about our Hindu-Arabic number system. They wrote a small essay (one paragraph) about how our number system works so well.

Writing- Students crafted a water conservation flier, wrote a small essay about the Hindu-Arabic number system, and some were enriched by crafting their own set of detailed directions.

Science- Students crafted a flier to show what they know about water and water conservation. We will hang the fliers in places that use water around the school this coming week to get people to conserve water!

History- This week we will study the ancient Egyptian civilization.
