The Spring Solstice is in three weeks but it sure isn't looking much like Spring. I'm not sure about you, but I have had enough snow! Please take a look to see what we are working on next. Language Arts The novel study, Owls In The Family, has been funny and enjoyable. We are learning a lot about animals and the themes that the author is using in his story. We continue to work on Spelling, Reading and Writing in class. Soon we will begin an Expository writing (non-fiction) unit. Math Our unit on Fractions will be starting next week. We have already begun working on some of the skills needed in this unit when we practice our Reducing in Mad Minutes and in homework questions. Please feel free to help your child with the questions sent home. This helps him/her to see how you solve a questions even if it is different from the way it is taught in class. However, they must still write the questions themselves. Science The unit we are currently working on is Chemistry
