Highlights of Third Trimester
Language
Arts
We are reading the novel Chains by Laurie
Halse Anderson, a historical fiction story set during the Revolutionary War and
told by a slave girl Isabel. We have been focusing on making predictions,
inferring character traits, the author’s use of symbolism, and finding evidence
to support the theme: everyone deserves freedom and to be treated equally.
After lunch we have enjoyed Capture
the Flag by Kate Messner , The
Wishtree by Katherine Applegate and The
Willoughbys by Lois Lowry.
Room 22 is in the process of writing persuasive essays. We
read essays that tried to persuade us to believe TV is bad for you and the
opposite view – TV is the best and animal testing is wrong versus testing on
animals is necessary. We decided that a strong persuasive essay uses statistics,
facts, quotes, the author’s personal experience, and word choice to be
successful in convincing the reader.
Math
Room 22 spent a lot of time learning about FRACTIONS: adding,
subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. Currently we are looking at 2D shapes
and discussing their attributes and classifications.
Science
We have been focusing on the Structure and Properties of
Matter. We created our own Element superhero and learned about
chemical/physical changes. Students worked hard on their science fair projects
utilizing the scientific method.
Social
Studies
Room 22 learned about colonial America and created their own
colonial character. We are currently learning about the factors that led to the
Revolutionary War.
