What we are learning in Room 12...
If your child is going to be absent, please let me know in advance if possible, so I can send make-up work with them.
- Math - We are working on our fractions unit (Unit 5). Please have your child continue to practice multiplication and division facts at home!
- Reading - We are dedicating this week's reading time to focus on our new writing unit.
- Writing/Spelling - Our biographies were a huge hit! In writing, we will be starting to talk about opinion writing. Our focus this week is the difference between facts and opinions. There is no spelling this week.
- Social Studies - We are currently working with Mrs. Kerscher learning about matter!
