CURRICULUM UPDATES
READING- Students read chapters 17-21 of Maniac Magee. They worked with problem-solution and character change this week. They are really enjoying the book! We will continue reading this for the next few weeks.
MATH- We will continue to apply the order of operations to evaluate expressions, while using multi-digit multiplication to solve word problems.
RELIGION- Students worked on empathy this week and putting themselves in others’ shoes. They looked at different scenarios and talked about how they could show empathy to others. This will continue to be a topic throughout the month.
WRITING- We will identify and analyze the three types of writing: Informational, opinion, narrative. We will also identify parts of speech, beginning with the different types of nouns.
SCIENCE- We will continue our unit on coding using code.org
SOCIAL STUDIES- Students learned about the electoral college and how the process of electing a president works. They discussed different qualities they think a president should have. We will continue our government/elections discussion next week.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mr. Sandstrom & Ms. Kelley
