La Lectura

What a sweet week!

This week we continued to work on our literacy routines such as word work, grammar and spelling. The highlight of our week, however, was celebrating Valentines Day! It was such a beautiful celebration of friendship and love. We worked on an expository writing Valentines day project and did some Valentines day art. We also had a chance to review some argumentative speaking/writing guidelines. All in all, we had so much fun!

Ciencias

• Explain how adaptations help organisms survive in an environment.
• Describe how population can change over time in response to environmental factors.

 

Mathematics

This week we started the unit Equations and Inequalities

• We learned the substation method where you plug in a number to the equation to see if it is the right number.
• Then we learned the balancing method where you balance out the equation so the variable is alone so you can find out the value of the variable.
• Last but not least on Valentine’s Day we did an escape room were we had to get rid of the love bugs by solving algebraic expressions, using the secret decoder, and finding envelopes, this week math was a blast!
