In L.A. we are continuing to work our way through the novel "Shipwreck" (the first book in a series which the kids can sign out in the library). We are also working on another reading strategy "Questioning" from our reading program (Reading Power). For writing we have been doing lessons from our writing program (Write Traits).
In Math, we have just finished working on 'decimals' and are now moving into ratio and percent. We will finish up just before Spring Break with relating improper fractions to mixed numbers.
In Science, we have been looking at 'Oceans' as an extreme environment. This week we have an experiment demonstrating one reason why the ocean can be considered extreme. Next week we will move on to Space as a wrap up for extreme environments.
In HACE we have been looking at nutrition. We have talked about food groups and are currently creating posters indicating appropriate servings and examples for each category.
For Fine Arts we have done a mixture of drama and art projects over this term.
