Reading
Younger students are reading about butterflies this week and concentrating on verbs.
The 4th and 5th grade students are focusing on System 44 computer lessons and reading comprehension. They will be showing what they have learned about comprehension strategies and retelling stories to end up the quarter.
Math
We are continuing practicing our skip counting, trying to memorize facts and apply those facts to more complex multiplication. This is essential for so many other skills and it is important that practice continues.
5th grade students will be wrapping up area and perimeter as well as multiplication chapters.
Writing
5th grade students have finished timelines and are beginning their exhibition project. They will be exploring how, "Responsible relationships find resolutions peacefully."
