Prairieview Holiday Service Project
Please remember that we are collecting for the service projet through Wednesday, December 10th! We still need donations towards our cancer patient family as well as for Family Shelter Service. Please consider sending a cash or gift card donation - I can take these and shop for specific items still needed for our family. If you have already contributed, thank you for your generosity!
Subject Update:
Science and Social Studies (Homeroom)
- Science - The students are learning about the ocean. We have read about the salinity of ocean water and how temperature and water pressure change with ocean depth. We have also learned about the different levels of the ocean floor. We will be completing an activity to help us better visualize these levels, and will find out about some changes that can happen over time to the ocean floor.
- Social Studies - We will review about everyday life in the colonies to prepare for the Chapter 6 Test on Tuesday, December 9th! Then we will move on to Chapter 7 - "The Spanish Move North."
- Spelling - Lesson 15 focuses on the suffix -ery.
- English - The students are learning about expository writing and how it is different from narrative writing. We will be color coding the parts of an example expository essay to help students understand the components and organization of a well-written paper.
- Reading - We will be reading some non-fiction texts as we work on the reading strategy of self-questioning. Students should be asking themselves questions about the texts they read before, during, and after reading.
- Math - We continue our work with decimals in Chapter 6. We are learning how to round, add and subtract, and estimate with decimals. We will also determine whether we need to estimate or find an exact answer when problem solving.
