This week in math we wrapped up chapter 6! We reviewed for the test at the beginning of the week with our team assessment and practice test, before taking the assessment on Wednesday. On Friday we corrected the assessments and looked at upcoming vocabulary for chapter 7.
In ELA, we have been working on a Model Compare and Contrast Essay focused on the similarities and differences between a specific scene in the Percy Jackson book and the film. After re-reading the chapter and watching the movie scene, we started the week off with time for writing before partnering with students from other classes to complete peer revisions of the essays. Next week we are moving on to the last unit for The Lightning Thief, where students will be creating their own character based on a demi-god and adding that character to a scene in the book.
This week in science, we explored how interactions in Earth’s systems create different weather conditions. Students learned about the role of temperature, humidity, air pressure, and wind in shaping the weather we experience daily. We investigated how warm and cold air masses interact to form different types of fronts, leading to changes like storms or clear skies. Using weather maps, students analyzed pressure systems and their impact on precipitation and wind patterns. In a lab on Thursday, we also modeled how air masses move and influence weather changes!
This week in history, we explored the achievements of the Gupta Empire and how they contributed to a "golden age" of prosperity and innovation. Students learned about advancements in mathematics, art, literature, and science that flourished under Gupta rule. To deepen our understanding, we created palm-leaf books highlighting these achievements and discussed how they shaped Indian civilization. Through this project, students reflected on how cultural and intellectual growth defines a golden age in history.
