ELA –
Page goals are due on Monday, November 6th! Do some reading this weekend.
We're still hard at work drafting our realistic fiction stories. This week, we discussed taking our writing from 2D to 3D by adding actions, thoughts and dialogue to our scenes. I also met with small groups and we discussed ways to add tension to our stories so that our readers feel more invested and excited. Our first scenes will be finished by Friday, and I'm going to spend some time this weekend reading what our writers have produced so far so that I can plan for individual writing conferences.

Science –
Pumpkin drop was a big success this week! Students collected data on mass, diameter, circumference, fall time, and crater size as we prepared for and executed the pumpkin drop. Results will be analyzed starting on Monday. Preliminary results are in - big craters, smashed up pumpkins, and lots of smiles.
Wednesday through Friday were spent visiting student presentations that were prepared to answer questions about problems that would be encountered when planning and journeying to Mars. Next week we will begin one of our final learning goals for Space Systems dealing with eclipses - something all of our students have first hand experience with!
