Academics for the week:

We will continue studying characterization in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This week we will focus on the Wizard. We will make predictions, look at sequencing, and go over conflict/resolution. In grammar, we will do some more editing, diagramming, and dictionary skills. 

In math this week, we will continue to practice subtracting decimals and learn how to solve word problems involving decimals.

In science, we will review for the test on Thursday, February 22nd. We conclude our experiment with the sugar water solution on Wednesday and will begin our unit on electricity on Friday.

In History this week we will begin our first research essay focusing on an Arizona landmark. This essay will need to be worked on for homework throughout the week and will be due on Monday 2/26. In class we will discuss finding sources and completing the paragraph outlines. On Thursday the outline and sources page will be due and on Friday we will peer edit and begin working on our rough drafts in class. Over the weekend students will type their essay.
