Thank you to the family and friends who have supported us in our efforts to raise money for field trips and special activities this year!!
Writing: We practiced compare and contrast writing. Students will write their own next week.
Reading: We have been reading Ben and Me as part of our genre unit whose theme is "facing challenges". We are also going to be seeing this play, watch the movie and then compare the three of them.
Math: We took the Chapter 3 math test on Wednesday and the class did quite well. We are now working in chapter 4, dividing larger numbers by 2 digit divisors. We have also been doing some review of past units.
Science: We are now working in our Forces and Motion unit. This week, students have been experimenting with what forces are able to cause a marble move the slowest on a "track" they have designed. We will discuss these factors.
Have a great weekend!!
