Writing by Giselle
This week we are working on
getting our first draft of the 3rd essay done, so we can discuss our essays in
class and get feedback on our essays so far. Our 3rd essay is due next
Thursday, on the nineteenth. We moved the due date from the eighteenth to
the nineteenth because Wednesday, the eighteenth was too busy with the
Friendship party and the Stem in house field trip to discuss our essays. Our
third essay is a cause and effect essay, and you can either make it a four
paragraph essay or a five paragraph essay, depending on how much
information you have.
KFC Science by Emma C
KFC (Kook Fun Cookies) has started to think about what our
endangered species posters will look like. We wrote two essays, and our next
one is due on 2/19/15. Our first essay was about one specific animal’s main
causes for endangerment. Our second essay was a compare and contrast essay
about two animals endangerment. In our third essay, we will write about causes
and effects for the endangerment of our original animal and their habitat. For
our last essay, which we have not done yet, we will write about a call to
action. Our call to action essay will be full of opinion, which the KFC has
been desperately wanting to write with since the first essay. All in all, make
sure you are ready to turn in your essays!
5th Year Math by Ezra
This week in 5th grade math, we are working on multiplying
fractions. We just recently finished up a short quiz about it. Now we are
working on finding out the dimensions of squares and rectangles. We just
started this with Cassie, and it is already really fun. We got a small slip of
paper that is about our new topic, (dimensions for squares and rectangles) and
it was given to us as homework on 2-12-15, which is due after our long
break on Wednesday.

ratio unit and beginning to work on the algebra unit. We have been working out
of the expressions volume 2 Homework and remembering book. The remembering
questions say “ 4.5*11=n” did you get the answer? it’s 49.5. A question out of
the homework side is “7/4=12/a a=___ the correct answer is 6.8 it’s okay that
one was much harder. We have been sharing our ways to problems like that Jack
talked about cross multiplying and I said I used a factor puzzle.
