ELA- Mrs. Forderhase
Students spent a day in the library examining images for photoshopping in the context of fake news and magazine images. Students flashdrafted their memoirs and will spend the next week revising their memoirs. As always, thank you for encouraging your child to read at home regularly.

Science- Mrs. Kenney
This week in science, we continued with our Forces and Interactions Unit. We began our Bullseye Summative Project. Students begin working on designing ping pong launchers. Instructions and the scoring guide are online in Google Classroom. Students should be completing reflections each day. This will be a summative grade. We will continue with the project next week. If you would like to support our classroom projects, we would greatly appreciate donations of duct tape, hot glue sticks, and glue sticks. Thank you!
Social Studies- Mr. Ward
This week in social studies, students completed their Events Leading to American Revolution Timelines. Once they finished their timelines students watched a documentary about the American Revolution. Students were then exposed to the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. Beginning next week, students will analyze the Declaration of Independence itself and take notes over the Articles of Confederation. Once we have discussed both documents we will then move into the U.S. Constitution.
