Monday, January 14, 2013 Anchorage Public School Reading/Language/Writing Students will not have a reading story this week. Students will work on the elements of a narrative writing. Students will work in the beginning stages of writing their own personal narrative. Math After determining fractions of a set, equivalent fractions will be the name of the game this week in math. We will be slicing and dicing fraction bars (not literally) to show our understanding of equivalent fractions. Flashbacks will continue. After receiving their grade from last week's flashbacks, students will set a goal for the score they want to receive on this week's FB. Homework expectations for this week: 1. Math Playground every night, 2. Daily Word Problem every night, and 3. an average of 5-8 practice problems each night to reinforce what we are learning in class. Looking forward to a great week! Science Students will begin a two week unit on the study of weather. Students will track weather trends in Anchorage and make predictions from their data. At home students should be studying their weather vocabulary flashcards and watching the weather. A culminating STEM challenge will finish up the unit. In order to conduct the STEM challenge during classes, I will send home a take home test at the end of the week and students will have until next Wednesday, the 23rdto complete and return it. Social Studies This week we are exploring in-depth Kentucky's economy. Students will learn that Kentucky has a market economy that is made up of service industries, manufacturing industries, mining, and agriculture. We'll learn about how imports and exports link Kentucky to the rest of the world. Finally, we will study the assembly line and how important it is to production.
