Tomorrow is the Walled Lake Schools' Annual Martin Luther King Jr. celebration at Walled Lake Northern High School. All schools in the district have created displays to show honor to Women Heroes in our community. The event begins at 5pm and there is NO COST. Please consider supporting this event. Below is a video with more information:
Science
We have been continuing to learn about environments. This week we spent a lot of time learning how organisms interact in an ecosystems. We have learned about how food chains can be combined into a food web. On Friday, we planted 4 common crops to study the effects of water and salt tolerance on early plant growth. Be sure to ask your child about our "crops".
Language Arts
We are continuing to work on our "Writing About History" writing projects. Your child is beginning to work on their 2nd subheading and will complete two more. Your child can access their work from home in goggle classroom. They can share with you what has been completed so far, if you are interested. In Reading, we are continuing to think deeply about the characters in their stories. Comprehension is the key to reading. We will continue to think about character traits and develop "theories" that we have about the characters. Your child will then be learning how to support the theory with evidence from the text.
Math
We are going to finish up unit 4 this week - Multi-digit Multiplication. The children have done a really nice job using the partitioned rectangle to make sense of this idea. A review will go home with your child at the end of the week. The BA will be on Tuesday, January 29th.
