The school year is zooming by,
but we still have lots of important learning to do.
In
math we are in the middle of our geometry unit. After that we have a unit on
fractions and decimals and then another visit to multiplication and division,
this time with larger numbers. Last week in writing we kicked off our
persuasive essay unit. We also call it opinion writing. In reading, we are
wrapping up our unit on non-fiction texts. Next we move on to historical
fiction. In science we just began a unit on energy. And finally in social
studies we continue our march across the United States and its regions as we
turn our attention to the Midwest.
We
have made it through the year so far with very few student absences due to
illness. On a related note, our supply of sanitizing wipes for cleaning desks
has run out. If anyone would like to donate some wipes to Room 302, it would be
appreciated.
