Spotlight On Learning
Happy Spring! Just as spring is about to be sprung, so are the minds of the student in classroom 5. In Math, we are currently working on expressions and equations. It is a little challenging, but students are locked in for learning. In Social Studies, we are working on civilizations in Korea, Japan, and Southwest Asia. We discovered, among many things, that Korea is considered a bridge between China and Japan, and that is how it built a civilization. ELA is up next, we are starting to study how to create great literacy essays. Just a few steps to keep us on track - cover the topic you are writing about, have a central idea, and be organized. That way we keep the reader's focus. Thank you for visiting Room 5 where we hope new ideas and creativity will spring forth in you. Happy Spring Season from Room 5!
