This week, In Math, we continued working through chapter 8 by introducing box plots and when to use them. We will continue this chapter next week with a focus on writing multiplication equations with independent and dependent variables.
In ELA, we began our final book study for the year, Frightful's Mountain. This study has a focus on informational text and tracing arguments. We have started looking at different information sources and determining if an argument is well supported with evidence. Next week, we will continue this practice with a new article and also take an assessment on this topic on Tuesday. To finish out the week we will think about how different interactions can have different consequences and prepare for a fishbowl conversation.
In Science, our lesson this week introduced how sexual and asexual reproduction affects genetic diversity. We took a quiz on this concept today. Next week, we will continue unit 5 with Lesson 4, discussing how the environment and genetics affect plant survival.
Finally, In History, we finished our final lesson of Ancient Greece talking about Alexander the Great and all of his accomplishments. Then we finished the week with an assessment as well as the Greek Museum! The kids did such a great job acting like their Greek Character counterparts and the second graders loved it! Next week we will be pausing our history curriculum due to the minimum conference days. After that, we will be starting our next unit on Ancient Rome!

Civilization Posters Needed!
In two weeks we will be starting a project in History, our “Create Your Own Civilization” project. Each student will need a 22 x 28 poster board, not the foam kind. If you could send one in for your student or a few for kids who may not have one, that would be greatly appreciated!
