Writing:
Students are planning and drafting multi-paragraph persuasive/opinion pieces. The class is doing a fantastic job. We hope to have our published work up in the hall for you to view during conferences.
Math
We started our Geometry Unit this week. Students are learning many new geometry vocabulary terms. Please review them with your child. This will be a huge help for this unit. Please don't forget to keep up with their multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction tables! The students and I went over the test they took last week on place value, adding, and subtracting. I will return this test to you during our parent/teacher conference. The class did very well as a whole.
Science
Our matter and measurement unit has been full of many fun, hands-on activities. Students are building their understanding of how we measure the three states of matter and how matter changes phase.
Reading
Our class is reading many short stories and non-fiction texts together. We are focusing on identifying details from the text to support student answers. Please take the time to review your child’s reading log to ensure they are thinking more deeply about the texts they are reading at home. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Aisha Galt
