Chicken BBQ

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, and supported our Chicken BBQ. I was busy in the Cotton Candy Room (and covered in cotton candy!), but I was still able to see many students and their families.  It was a very successful and fun event!

Book Projects

Today students were able to see their grades on the first book project of the year. We took this as an opportunity to set a goal for ourselves for the next book project.  We will be sharing these at Parent Teacher Conferences in November.

Pictures of our Fun!

ELA

In reading and writing, we have finished Unit 1. Students have read several narrative nonfiction texts, realistic fiction texts, and argumentative texts. Students have also written a personal narrative and they are finishing up an opinion paper about the positive and negative effects of teen social media use. We will share this work with you at conferences.

Math

We are wrapping up our Unit 2 math instruction. Students have learned several strategies to solve multi-digit multiplication problems and long division problems.

Science and Social Studies

We finished our first Science Unit: Matter in Ecosystems and we will be starting our first Social Studies Unit over Native Americans next week.
