Research Paper

Showcase This week your mini goal is

to your 7th artifact. "Due"

March 2.

This weeks topic is math. Some ideas arefractions, graphs, geometry, decimals. The trick is

to think of a 3D way to demonstrate the math

concept. Try dividing a tiny pizza into fractions, or

divide it into a pie graph. Show 6 ways to draw

equivalent fractions using a cube to display each

way. Or, make bars marked as fractions to compare

fraction amounts or show equivalency. Make 3D

geometric figures like 3 different types of

pyramids. Demonstrate mixed numbers as

improper fractions. Do a survey and make a 3D bar

graph. Make arrays showing composites vs.primes. We will be writing our Showcase sentence

in class as usual.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO UPDATE YOUR

WIKI GOAL THIS WEEK.

The dreaded moment has arrived! We are

starting to write a research paper. Everyone has

been assigned a California mission to write about.

All students will be assigned partners to work

with throughout this process. Hooray!

All the mission research paper information is

posted on our classroom website. Please take

time to review the information together before

signing and returning the confirmation slip.

IMPORTANT/DUE FRIDAY:

We have some preliminary steps to accomplishthis week. (The only actual writing this week will

be done in class. We will be writing the

introduction and conclusion together, and this will

not impact homework. Whew!)

1. Please bring a one inch binder and a set ofdividers to school (7 or more). We will be

organizing it together in class.

2. Bring 2 mission information books to school.You can check books out from the Lincoln

Library or the Cupertino Library etc. You can also

purchase books of course.

3. Bring one printed mission resource from theinternet - make sure it has lots of information.

4. Bring the Research Paper Confirmation slip.5. It's also a good idea to print out someinformation such as the Timeline, Suzie Q's step

by step samples, writing tips and information.

Stone Fox

Book ClubWe are transitioning to a Book

Club format as we read our next

literature book. This involves

students choosing friends for

book club groups who will meet

together to discuss the under the ocean ideas in

the book. In order to be prepared for book club

meetings, students must come ready to join the

discussion. This means 1) read the chunk of the

book that will be discussed, 2) write one post-it foreach chapter that marks an important part of the

chapter, and 3) fill out the Before We Met part of

the Book Club Thinking sheet. This involves 2 to

4 sentences - it is about quality vs. quantity. Make

sure you are ready to meet on Tuesday morning.

(The chapters are VERY short!)

Proud to be Me! Do you have pictures in your Google

Drive? Or did you email yourself

family pictures? Youre going to use

them on Thursday so be prepared!
