I hope you all are looking forward to the Thanksgiving break! This past week, students finished up their multiplication unit with the final test. Next week, we will start our division unit. Please make sure your child continues to practice his/her multiplication and division facts in preparation for the new unit.
We also finished up our glacier unit in science. Students had a lot of fun making glacier dictionaries as their final projects. The dictionaries should be coming home with your child on Monday along with the unit 2 math test. Next, we move on to our next social studies unit about the first people of Wisconsin.
**Please keep in mind that any test or project that your child does not complete to their full potential can be retaken/redone. They just need to let me know and we can schedule a time for a retake.
In language arts, students are working with nonfiction for both reading and writing. In reading, kids are doing research projects about weather events in small groups. They are learning to take notes and synthesize information from sources. They will present a slideshow with their group to teach to the class next week. In writing, students are finishing up their first opinion essay and will soon be switching to the persuasive essay.
Here is a picture of some students on our read in and pajama day yesterday!
