What we're learning...




English Language Arts (ELA): 
We are reading the book Frindle by Andrew Clements.  While reading we are discussing story elements, theme, and character traits.  Our first writing assignment is called "Summer Sunglasses".  Students are creating a self portrait with sunglasses, which reflect a fun event from the summer.  This week we began our first Word Study unit.  The root word is uni, which means "one".  Spelling homework will begin soon!

Math: Place Value!  We have been learning how to write and read different number forms.  This week our lessons will focus on multiplying with 10's, 100's etc., comparing/ordering numbers, and rounding numbers.  

Social Studies: Map skills, continents, oceans, latitude, and longitude are just some of the geography skills we've been studying.  This week we will begin the Treasure Island map project!

Science: The students are exploring what it means to be a scientist.  They are conducting experiments, making observations, and more!
