Week 13



Language Arts


Reading is Thinking

We will learn about literacy/non-fiction texts (biography and autobiography).


Writing


We will learn the elements of expository writing.


Social Studies


We will learn about holidays around the world.



Math/Science


Math


We are going to continue into our second week of division.  We are focusing on the difference between multiplication and division word problems.


Science


This week we will continue to discuss forces: mechanical (push/pull), friction, and gravity.  We are going to focus on gravity and friction and move into simple machines.

We are still logging and comparing, from both Gilmer and another US state, the current temperature of the air outside, wind speed and direction, and precipitation. We also discuss time zones and how that affects air temperature. We are continuing to track Gilmer's temperature on our thermometer log.


This week we will compare Gilmer's forecast and climate to that of Virginia Beach, Virginia (we didn't get to it last week).
