Thank goodness for planners to keep you updated on what is happening in the classroom! Here is an update for this week:
Reading: We will be finishing the historical fiction story Sarah, Plain and Tall.
Writing: The students will be writing an opinion piece about life as a homesteader.
Spelling: Days of the Week (We don't have an official list this week with our reading series, and they need to know how to spell the days. There will only be seven words!)
Math: The students are working very heavily with division. They are learning their various facts and strategies to solve problems. Daily, they are beginning an introduction to fractions and a review of skills to prepare them for the NWEA MAP tests that they will take in early April.
Science: Our progress through Project Lead the Way Science is now in the building stage. They are designing their own gliders early in the week, and then they will build and test the flight of gliders. I imagine that you will hear a lot about this during the week. They love it!
