ELA –
We have some writers this year! We started brainstorming ideas for our realistic fiction pieces. We also set goals for what we want to get better at as writers. The goals they chose from were:
- Themes
- Structure
- Tension
- Figurative Language
- Description
- Dialogue
- Characters
Ask your student what he/she is working on as a writer!
Next week, we'll continue to collect story ideas and start moving towards committing to one story idea.
Don't forget to stay updated with what's going on in ELA by visiting Ms. K's blog or follow Willow ELA's Instagram page.
Social Studies –
We finished Mesopotamia this week, ending with an open note quiz on Friday. Next week we will begin looking at Egypt. Our habit is to begin with geography, so that we can put the history and culture of a region in context

Science –
This week in science students explored the cause and effect relationship between the Sun, Earth, and Moon that result in lunar eclipses. We had a demonstration day in the auditorium on Monday where students experienced how the viewpoint they are seeing the moon from dictated what they were capable of seeing.
Students began designing a demonstration to show their knowledge of the motions that cause lunar phases on Thursday. They completed their design on Friday and will be performing the minute long demonstration for me on Tuesday. This is their formative grade for Goal 3.
There are still a few students who need to reassess their first summative assessment - compare and contrast statements about the objects they researched. Please check their grades. If it mentions possibility or necessity for reassessment please tell them to check in with me.
