Moving in Math and Science
Students are finishing up their unit 3 math test corrections. These assessments will come home next week for you to view. In science, we finished our organism unit with a visit from Mr. DiNaso!! He did an outstanding job presenting his knowledge on fossils and dinosaur extinction!!
Reading for the Stars
We have been studying slavery and the underground railroad. We have shared nonfiction literature and focused on the point of view an author writes their story from. Students are also learning to locate cause and effect relationships in a text.
Writing as Experts
Classes are coming to the end of the opinion writing unit. Next week is our scheduled quarterly writing assessment!! Ask your child to share their thesis with you!! Many students are experts when it comes to persuasion!!
Looking Ahead...
