We will also learn how to use an FQR chart when reading historical fiction, using the story "Unbreakable Code" from the Treasures series.
Since we have completed our novels unit, students will now begin a book study based on a novel of their choice. I will present 6 different options, and they can choose their top 3 books to read. I will do a brief book talk on Monday, so students can determine their interest.

Science: Students will get their Quick Check back from Friday. We will learn more about conductors/insulators and test various materials to see how well they insulate water bottles.
