What is happening in our class today...

Last week, as part of our unit on Earth Science, students completed their paper mache planets which are now on display in the classroom.  As we continue our section on Astronomy, we will add other objects from the solar system.  Did you know that our solar system only has 8 planets?  Want to know why, ask one of our student experts.

This week we will be studying the moon and it's cycles.  Mrs. Lohmer has a special surprise for science class on Friday that will help everyone remember the cycle of the moon phases.

In social studies, we are continuing to work on our map skills.  We are learning the five themes of geography and all about the different types of maps.

In writer's workshop, we are writing personal narratives (stories about ourselves).  Who better to write about a subject than the person who experiences it every day?

In Language, we are reviewing parts of speech and learning all about the graphic organizers that we will use throughout the Language program.

In mathematics, we are continuing to do number puzzles, learn about arrays, and prime factorization.  If you would like more information about our math curriculum, there is a link on the blog.
