Science – Electricity
- Before our break, we were discussing static electricity. When the students were meeting with Mrs. Horton (our Science teacher), they were learning about current electricity by creating circuits.
-There are a lot of great books about electricity on the EPIC website (www.getepic.com). This website is open from 8 am - 4 pm.
Reading
-Two new books were assigned on Kids A-Z: Don't Wake the Mummy and Hiking the Appalachian Trail. Practice assignments were placed in the Class Story section of ClassDojo. I will also place these practices into the Files and Documents section of my class page.
-Students are encouraged to read different types of books on Kids A-Z as well as take the quizzes attached to those books read. When I access the website, I can check on their progress and make adjustments when needed.
Writing
-The Whoos Reading website is open so you can write reflections about the books you have read so far. I will be checking the website to see how my students are progressing.
-Also the students should be working on their rough draft for their state research project. For the students who have finished the first draft, please have someone check it over before typing up your second draft in MS Word.
