Math
In Unit 5 we are learning about units of measurement. Students have already worked with metric measures of length, volume and weight, units of time and next we will begin working with the U.S. customary measures. Measuring and weighing things at home would be a great extension to what we are learning in class.
Reading/Writing
Our newest writing project is to write an essay about the national park that we are studying. Students crafted some fantastic introductions today. I can't wait for you to read them. I will have them bring them home to you sometime this week.

We are now working on learning about the National Parks. We are talking about why we should protect the national parks. Students are creating a powerpoint as well as writing about their opinion of the park. I am really excited about the work that they are doing on this project. I will send a part of their writing home for them to share with you sometime this week.
