We enjoyed our "Being There Experience" to the State House! Students learned about the history of the State House, as well as, its purpose.
Students enjoyed a visit from a government professor at the University of South Carolina (he's also a BRES dad). They learned about the three branches of government and how a bill becomes a law.

Looking ahead: In math, students will continue a unit on fractions. Check out our Family Letter with this link: Fraction Unit Family Letter. Please remind your child to practice his/her multiplication facts daily! Students will continue their mixed multiplication quizzes throughout the remainder of the school year. They will also retake any multiplication quizzes necessary to obtain their trail mix ingredients for our trail mix celebration in the spring. As historians, continue learning about aspects of the Civil War in South Carolina. In writing, students will continue learning cursive handwriting. They will also continue learning about poetry, while creating a poetry anthology. As readers, the children will be immersed in poetry. Students will take a district writing assessment Tuesday, March 1.
Class picture day: We will have our class picture day Wednesday, February 24. If you would like to purchase a class purchase, an envelope went home in your child's homework folder Thursday, February 18.
Science and Technology Night: Be sure to visit our school Thursday, February 25, to learn more about science and technology! A lot of fun activities are planned!
A note from fourth grade: 4th grade has begun our Grade Level Charity, Donate a Toothbrush. This organization, based out of New Jersey, was started by two teenage sisters to provide new toothbrushes to those in need. Last year we collected 670 brushes and have set our new goal at 1,000. Thank you all for your support.
