What We Are Learning
Reading: Students have
begun the novel, Tuck Everlasting. They are exploring the theme of the book: Why
would or wouldn’t someone want to live forever?
If you can, read the novel yourself and discuss it with your child.
Social Studies: We have
started our unit on Washington, D.C. As
a culminating activity, students will be constructing gingerbread houses based
on major landmarks, monuments, or memorials in our nation’s capital.
Writing: We enjoyed
and appreciated seeing so many of you at our “Most Thankful Tea”! The students were very excited to share their
writing with you. Students are now
writing informational pamphlets about Washington, D.C.
Math: Students recently finished a unit on
multiplication and division. We really
had to encourage the kids to persevere and not give up, especially on
multi-step word problems. We remind the
students that even though the math is hard, they can do it! Keep studying those math facts!
