This month in ELA we are working in literature circles. The students are reading books in small groups. They get to discuss the books, while practicing important skills. The skills are summarizing, predicting, and questioning.
Social Studies
This month we are starting out with continuing our unit on Native Americans. Our focus is on the Native Americans that have lived in New York State
Math
The students have been working very hard at multiplication and division during the last few months of school. Now it is time to focus on angle measures and plane figures. Lines, line segments, angles, triangles, and so much more is to come!
Writing
Last month we finished a fun, holiday research project. The students compared and contrasted the holiday they celebrate and a different holiday. They were able to research the holiday they were unfamiliar with by watching videos and reading articles.
