Week 30!

Only two more weeks until April vacation.  I don't know about you, but I feel like we just got back from February vacation!  The students were really busy this week as they embarked on some exciting new projects.  Check it out below:

*Math:

• Volume of regular shapes
• Volume of irregular shapes
• CSI math investigation 
• Math games on Friday with 5D

*Literacy:

• Wrapped up our argument writing unit
• Used a checklist to highlight and revise our written work
• Essays will be sent home next week
• Began learning about TED Talks
• Discussed key components of TED Talks
• Students brainstormed a topic they are passionate about 

*PASSION PROJECT (aka a TED Talk):  Students will be researching, writing and presenting their very own TED Talk in our classroom.  Each of them has come up with a topic of their choice that they are passionate about and will be working on writing/memorizing a speech.  You will be invited to come into our classroom and watch our passion projects come alive.  Due to a large class, these talks will take place over the course of two days before April Vacation (April 19th and 20th)

Important Dates:

• Early Release: April 12th
• TED Talks: April 19th and 20th
• Jeff Warner Sing Along: April 20th 2:00
