Good Afternoon, Room 36 Families!

Today we have been learning all about the planet Mars, and Mars One's plan to send humans to establish a settlement on the Red Planet by 2030.  Students now have a fairly good idea what they will need to include in the Mars colony they will engineer with their team.  Students can continue to bring in recycled materials to use after the weekend. Engineering will start next week!

Homework:
- Read 20 minutes (independent reading at Lexile level)
- MyMath: Chapter 10, Lesson 4 (p. 655-656)
- Reading Comprehension: "Abraham Lincoln"
- EXTRA: Mars Colony Research
