How are electicity and magnetism are related? -
What are some sources of electricity? -
How do people use energy resources?  On Friday's we focus on the area of health. We have recently learned electricity safety rules for indoor and outdoors usage. Teh students are creating posters with the purpose of persuading others to follow the safety rules. In ELA our concentration will be upon adjectives. We have learned how to identify adjectives and apply a special adjective called an article. Additional aspects of the unit concentrate on demonstrative adjectives and comparing with adjectives. Adverbs identification and usage of them in comparing is a focus within the unit as well as prepositions and negatives. The Six Traits of Writing will help our writers develop and enrich ideas, organization, word choice, and mechanics. Currently we are in the initial prewriting stage of a persuasive essay. Current Math concepts being learned include identifying square ruoots of perfect squares, approximating square roots, multiplying and dividing money amounts, and identifying the kinds triangles [right, obtuse, acute]. We will be measuring the angles of the triangles learned as well.
