Language Arts and Social Studies
We are starting the year off with Biographies and Autobiographies. We’ll be doing lots of integration with Social Studies reading about Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglas, just to name a few. As readers we will be discussing their obstacles, triumphs, and their contributions to society. As writer’s we are learning about Expository writing. After reading various biographies and autobiographies we’ll be ready to write our own with an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Our WITS writer Mrs. Alvarez was impressed with all the fabulous, creative writing each student wrote during our visit to the Menil Collection.

Science
We just finished our unit on landforms. We are now exploring natural resources and ways to conserve them.
We will soon be learning about the solar system.
