What we're Learning:

- Word Study - Don't forget, students are able to retest their weekly word study spelling tests.
- Writing - We are working on writing focus and adding details to our writing. We have begun to prepare for our "This I Believe" essay.
- Math - We have finished with decimals and will be working on geometry for the next two weeks.
- Studies - The students are working on researching different regions of the US. They will complete their mini project in class. We will be ending our study of the United States region with a "Skype Day" - we will be attempting to interview family and friends across the United States. A flyer will go home on Monday. Please let me know if you know someone who might be willing to speak with us!
