We are finishing up our unit on weather. We have some special guests from the Nature Museum today, who are coming to teach a lesson about cold and warm fronts and high and low pressure areas. Next week, students will need to take their weather measurements on their own, and then create a weather report that they'll turn into a podcast to share with the school. The test will be on Friday. Yesterday, we discussed different ways to study for tests, and all of the students created a study plan.
Next week, students are going to begin taking their state quizzes. About two weeks of every month, they'll be given five-six states whose location they need to memorize. The study guide will be passed out on Monday, and the quiz will be on Friday. I've linked a game on the blog that can be a fun way to learn these. We're also going to begin reading The Whipping Boy next week, and I'll send home some information about the castle project that goes with it. This won't be due until the middle/end of January (depending on how long it takes us to read the book), but it can be a good thing to work on over Christmas break.
