WHAT’S GOING ON THIS WEEK?

This week we started working with our

math curriculum. Our first unit focuses onfluency and computation. We are learning

different strategies to help us with our

multiplication and division facts. Look for

math homework coming home each day.

We also started our first IB Planner,

titled The Human Machine. We started off by

tracing our bodies and drawing all we knew

about different systems of the body. We then

focused our inquiry on the digestive system

and measured our digestive systems.

We also started spelling this week.

Each Monday, we will do a pre-test so that

students know which words they need to

study. We will also be spending 15-20 minutes

each day throughout the week working on our

spelling words in some way.

We are still working together every

day to establish a positive community in our

classroom. Thanks for your understandingwith my early absence, It’s good to be back.

Have a great week!
