Week 5

This week we finished up learning about light and started learning about heat. The kids did really well on our jeopardy review about light.

In math, we talked a lot about equality and how to keep both sides of an equation equal. We used tombs and treasures to balance equations, which was really fun. We also talked a lot about properties of operations and about the distributive property.

In social studies we finished Mesopotamia! The kids loved learning about Hammurabi's code of laws and we even read a little bit about the birth of Judaism. This wee we will be starting Egypt!

We are still working on our personal narratives in writing, and we've been trying to use metacognition as we read. This week we will wrap up metacognition and start on monitoring for meaning.

It's been a great week! Don't forget to read at home! No birthdays this week.
