Social Studies-
In Social Studies the 5th Six Weeks in unit 5, Running a Business in the Community, students will inquire about "how can I achieve financial stability?" by identifying ways of earning, spending, saving, and donating money. Students will learn how to create a simple budget that set aside money for spending and saving, learn about scarcity which refers to the limited availability of a product in the market and unlimited demand). Scarcity exists because human wants for goods and services exceed the quantity of goods and services that can be produced using all available resources. Students will be able to explain how the cost of production and selling price affect profits. They will be able to identify individuals, past and present, such as Henry Ford and Sam Walton who have started new businesses. Additionally, students will learn about selected American entrepreneurs who have successfully established thriving businesses. Students will interpret graphs and charts as well as create written and visual material such as stories, pictures, maps, and graphic organizers to express ideas about producers and consumers in their community.
English-Language Arts and Reading-
During the 5th six weeks, we will read informational text in Module 7-Make A Difference. In this module, students will be reading and viewing selections about people who are helpful members of their communities. We will continue writing short-constructed responses to text read as well as extended-constructed responses by using correct capitalization and punctuation.
Science-During the 5th Six Weeks in Science, students will investigate organisms in Ecosystems by explaining how temperature and precipitation affect animal growth and behavior through migration and hibernation and plant responses through dormancy. Students will investigate organisms and their environments by answering questions such as "why does a cactus bloom?", why do birds migrate? and how do plants and animals respond to changes in weather?
