Students are now back in the swing of things after our long holiday. I really happy to see that students are becoming much more responsible and committed to being a outstanding student. Right now we are focusing on many new concepts in class.
Social Studies: students are learning about events leading up to the
revolutionary war and recently experienced what it was like to be taxed without representation.
Math: students are learning all about fractions and how to reduce them to their
simplest form.
Science: students are learning about motion and forces and have been doing some great experiments with their lab partners to support these concepts.
Language Arts: students have been developing their writing skills and working with Mrs.
Heim to write a terrific exploded moment for their personal narratives. They have also been working on their open response and on demand writing skills. We will soon be working in book clubs on some great novels and we are focusing on asking questions while we read.
