CLASSROOM NEWS
SCIENCE - We are starting to learn
about the Circulatory System.
SOCIAL STUDIES - Students are
all over the USA and Canada. We certainly miss them as they explore new land.
Don't worry, they'll be back before you know it!
READING - Students are reading lots of
non-fiction as they research states and provinces. They continue to read and discuss
their independent reading books as well. We are starting a class book called Tuck
Everlasting. The big question in this story is, "Would you want to live
FOREVER?" We'll be studying concepts such as symbolism, similes and metaphors.
Click HERE for a sample of what the students are reading. Please
remember that students should be reading a minimum of 20-30 minutes each night. They
should record the pages that they read on their reading calendar. If the calendar is
ever misplaced, an extra copy can be printed out at our classroom
documents page.
WRITING - Students are obviously doing
lots of writing in their Journey projects. They write a journal entry for each state
they visit. We are also still publishing our realistic fiction pieces.
MATH - In math we are learning how to
use data and about adding and subtracting fractions. Click HERE for the parent letter on this unit.
TECHNOLOGY - Students are learning how
to effectively use the web to research and report during our Journey project.
