Math
This week our class completed our unit on subtracting fractions with unlike denominators and moved on to our next unit! We are currently working on how to apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply fractions.
English
The class learned about figurative language and how to produce vivid imagery by investigating examples used in prose and poetry.
Students also honed their test-taking skills by analyzing their responses to a short quiz and determining ways to improve their answers.
Social Studies
As you may have heard from your children social studies is a passion of mine. Therefore you may have been hearing a great deal about the French and Indian War and how that set the stage for the beginning of the American Revolution!
During lunch we have been watching America the Story of US. This has given the class some great context and additional information!
Science
We completed our unit on weather and have moved into our unit on the solar system. Lessons so far have included an interactive portrayal of the movements of the earth, moon and sun, and how these movements impact the seasons we experience.
