Welcome back and I hope you got to enjoy the BlueBird Powder Day Sunday!

Science:  This week we will be studying Atmosphere and Climate.  We will be using the new text and a "Listen-Stop-Write" strategy this week, and we will be getting back into our Science Notebook as well. We will also use Kahoot to start reviewing all we have learned so far in the Weather/Climate Pilot Unit

Social Studies: We will start the week with a Barter Market Check In and play a Barter Market Simulation Game.  Then we will continue with Inventions from Mesopotamia.  We will finish the week with Architecture in Mesopotamia as well.

Thanks for reading,
Have a great week and a Wonderful Winter Break
Happy Holidays,

Week of December 9th

Welcome back from another Wild Weekend of Weather!

This week we will be doing the following in each class...

Science: Weather and Climate
This week we will be studying Weather Maps and Forecasting Weather.  It should be lots of fun since the end product will be students forecasting weather using their chromebook camera and then casting it onto the class TV!

Social Studies: We have been studying the 7 Features of Civilization and this week we will finish up Government piece, Hammurabi. Then we will study Inventions of Mesopotamia. After that we will research ancient city-states and Ziggurats.

Best Regards,
Mr Franey
