Science and Language Update
Science
Students are investigating the differences between genetic traits that are inherited and traits which are learned or influenced by the environment. Students are exploring the phenomena that offspring may express different traits than parents as they learn about dominant and recessive genes.
Language
Students will be practicing information reading and writing. The focus in reading will be to look at the main idea and details when summarizing non-fiction text. Writing will look at how students will be applying those reading skills to organizing their thinking into paragraphs. The majority of our reading and writing will be connected to our Science unit leading up to the winter holiday.
