Students will complete a weekly literature summary from last week’s reading of Where the Red Fern Grows, and continue to read the next three chapters of the book.
This week in science, students will take the unit test on Classification on Tuesday, 11/14. Study guides are due Monday, 11/13 and will be reviewed in class. Students will begin their next unit on cells by reading a selection of a text by Robert Hooke, a scientist from the 17th century who first looked at cells under a microscope. Students will compare prokaryotic cells (cells with no nuclei) to eukaryotic cells (cells with nuclei) and will begin to study the difference between plant and animal cells next week.
This week in Math, students will continue to learn about multiplying and dividing fractions. Students will divide a whole number by a fraction and divide a fraction by a fraction. There will be no math groups this week.
This week in History, students will begin our unit on “Golden Age to Glorious Revolution”. We will discuss the monarchs of England starting with Queen Mary I (Bloody Mary) and Queen Elizabeth I. We will also go over England’s defeat of the Spanish Armada, Sir Francis Drake, and the English Civil War, focusing on King James I, King Charles I, the Cavaliers and Roundheads. Please note that there will be a 50 states location test before Thanksgiving Break on 11/21. The study guides for this 50 states test are due on 11/20.
