 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  MATH:   
We began our unit over multiplying whole numbers and decimals this week. We are also doing regular review of past material as well as short morning work that includes previews to upcoming units. 

  LANGUAGE ARTS 
Writing: 
We are working on writing with an appropriate tone for the situation. Students are writing 2 letters about being late for school. One letter is to the principal and one is to a friend so the tone would be different between the 2 letters.
 
READING:
This week we discussed empathy. We read an article about this and discussed it. We also focused on what respect looks and sounds like and how this is an important value for kids and adults alike. Students also began work on their slide show for conferences. Your student will present the slideshow to you at conferences and include goals, things they enjoy about school, and things they are proud of.
 
SCIENCE   We began our unit "Objects in the Sky". Our first lessons focus on what causes the seasons: the tilt of Earth on its axis and the amount of direct sunlight an area of Earth has at a particular time. We will compare Alaska, Michigan, and Florida by looking at a data chart and graphing this information. 

Studies:- Mrs. Custer
Friday students had a test over the last unit. After finishing our unit on early African Empires this week, we will be learning about the Triangular Trade Route and slavery beginning next week.

Word Study  Another short week, so word study begins Monday again.
