What are we learning?

Language Arts
In reading this week, learners will use clues from the text and their schema to draw conclusions about a passage. In writing, learners will begin a unit of persuasive writing. The 30 book challenge reading log will be due on Monday, May 21st. If your child has misplaced their log, you may get a copy here.
Science
Organisms and environments have been a BIG focus the past month in science. Your child should be able to describe patterns, cycles, systems, and relationships within the environments as we wrap up this unit.
We even experienced a first Breakout EDU in science this week which was the perfect collaborative, kinesthetic activity that reinforced are learning about the adaptations of animals. It was so fun watching your children problem solve and use their critical thinking skills while trouble shooting through the challenges they had to unlock the bird beak antidote!
Questions might look like:
- The source of energy for all the organisms in the food chain? (the sun)
- A student planted a flower in a pot filled with beach sand. The student planted a flower in a pot filled with beach sand. The student later sat that pot in the window and watered it twice a day. After two weeks, the plant turned brown and died. Explain why.
