ELA- Mr. Jones
This week was a week of continuing with our Argument Writing Piece by completing a graphic organizer with our claim, reasons for our claim, and evidence to support our reasons and claim. We also studied how to write an effective introduction, conclusion, and a counterclaim. Next week students will have an opportunity to transfer the graphic organizer into a writing piece.
Science- Mrs. Creath
removing wastes, controlling body motion, and protecting the body.
Social Studies- Mrs. Pettid
This week we concluded our look at Athens and Sparta and began exploring the culture and accomplishments of Ancient Greece. We began by looking at inventions that are still in use (in some form) today and ended the week focused on Greek art and architecture. Currently, students are working on a Greek Culture Stations packet that is due next Wednesday.
