SOCIAL STUDIES - We have had so
much fun learning about Latin America. Students made some really cool brochures
about different countries. We had a language teacher visit and teach us some
Spanish. Mr. Floyd presented his trip to the Panama Canal. Miss Meyers gave
another presentation on her visit to Belize. We'll be having a big fiesta to
celebrate what we have learned. Our next unit of study will be the long awaited
economics unit. More information will follow soon.
SCIENCE - We are starting to learn
about the nervous system.
READING - Students have been reviewing
reading strategies to use when taking a test. We have worked on reading question
stems for key words, finding evidence markers and envisioning. We have also been
reading our independent books as well. After the test, we will be starting a
historical fiction unit.
WRITING - Student have finished
writing their brochures. They turned out great. We are finishing a fun piece
called, "When I am 30 Years Old." We hope to share these with you soon.
Student will soon be writing historical fiction pieces.
MATH - You may have noticed that we
have been jumping around a bit in math. We went from unit 9 to unit 12 in about one
week. The reason is that there are some concepts on the state math test that aren't
covered until later in the year in our math program. I will be going back and
completing the lessons we had to skip for now. Luckily, we are in a really good
place in math program. The students have made great progress this year.

any parent letter that was sent home.
TECHNOLOGY - Students are learning a
program called Garage Band. They are having so much fun with it. The program
allows them to compose and record music. We'll be making jingles for our economics
unit. Our music teacher is helping us. We are also learning how to create web
pages using a program called iWeb. Each student will create a page about an author
and the books that they have written. These pages will be shared with other Lynnwood
classes and published to the Lynnwood intranet as reference for students.
