Week of January 17 and Week of January 24

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Martin Luther King Jr.

This week we started our study of fractions using the Model Curriculum Units from created by the Massachusetts Department of Education.  We used fraction strips, number lines, pictures, pattern blocks, etc. to show, compare, find equivalent fractions and order fractions.  In ELA, we completed poems about dancing and weather and drew pictures to visualize poems.  Also, we finished our opinion piece.  Students chose their topics for this assignment.  In science we created dichotomous keys to name animals using Google drawing and researched how scientists classify animals.  In addition,  we completed the District Writing prompt, Mid year math assessment and a reading practice MCAS assessment.
We had Black Out Bullying week.  Coburn school has a new pledge to stop bullying.  All classes signed the pledge.
