This Week:
We’re completing Starting
Topic 10 (Fractions), and an abbreviated Topic 8 (Dividing by 1-Digit numbers),
learning about speaker tags and dialogue punctuation in writing, practicing
writing metaphors and similes, continuing our map skills unit by exploring our
Washington state desk maps, turning our illustrated Cinderella stories into online
and hard copy storybooks, starting a holiday surprise for parents,
investigating Ecosystems in science, and reading a tall tale to learn about
figurative language.
With thanks,
