Science - this week we will finish gathering information about the planets

Social - we will continue to work on our Ancient Athens models with the 

guiding questions of:

How was the government of ancient Athens structured? 

How did the structure of the government in ancient Athens provide opportunities 

for citizens to participate in decision making? 

How did identity, status and class structure impact citizenship in ancient Athens? 

How did the social structure of ancient Athens impact its political structure? 

To what extent were democratic ideals of equity and fairness part of the structure 

of government and society in ancient Athens? 

Math - we will continue to work on integers. I apologize as last week I wrote 

that we were going to start fractions however I have changed this to integers. 

The learning goals for this chapter are:

1. I can use manipulatives to show my understanding of integers
2. I can use drawings to show my understanding of integers
3. I can use symbols to show my understanding of integers

Writing - we will be starting a new unit on wordless books with the focus on 

narrative organizations.  Students will be introduced to a story organizer that 

we will use for the remainder of the school year as we build our own stories.
