- Language Arts - The word study groups have been shuffled and all groups will have new word sorts by Monday. This third quarter we are focusing on using vivid language in our writing and continuing to follow all the conventions of writing in paragraphs.
- Math - We are beginning to multiply fractions. I'm including a video from our new math series on ways to support your child's understanding of fractions from our Math in Focus series.
- Social Studies - As a culminating activity for our study of the US regions, a flyer went home asking for family volunteers across the country to talk with our class. We are hoping to schedule interviews with someone from each region we have studied!
- Science - We are going to create models to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.
