Hello Families!
We have gotten off to a great start with our fundraising for our walk-a-thon! So far, our classroom has brought in over 60 dollars! That is almost halfway to our goal already! Let's keep working on getting those donations, because the money will be going to a really great cause!
Here is a quick update about the classroom happenings:
Math- We are still working with fractions, decimals, and percents in our investigation unit. We will be looking at adding and subtracting fractions soon as well!
Writing- The students are planning out their persuasive essays on the Oregon Trail. They have done a lot of research the past week or so, and they will be working on finishing their planning page and writing their draft next week.
Reading- We are excited to get back into our Interactive Language notebooks! This past week, we talked about fragments and run-on sentences. Next week, we will continue to read "Mighty Miss Malone" and talk about homophones!
Science- We are learning so many cool facts about waves! For example, did you know that a beach ball in the middle of the ocean will simply bob up and down? We are also defining wavelength, frequency, crest, and trough, which are all parts of a wave.
Well, I think that covers the main topics. Have a great weekend and I will send email updates as needed!
