Looking ahead to the week of December 16 (Library)

Students enjoyed sharing their final opinion writing pieces with their cause groups!

We sure did learn a lot about fossils from Fossil Frank!  Students even did a little fossil hunting of their own.

Hello, families!

Looking ahead to next week:  As scientists, students will learn more about weathering, erosion, and deposition through several hands-on simulations.  As mathematicians, students will continue to learn more about the relationship between multiplication and division, as well as, how to solve two-step problems. Please check out the family letter below. Keep practicing those facts!  They will not have a multiplication quiz next week.  As readers and writers, students will finish their final copies of their Treasures books, which will be sent off to be professionally published.  Students will take their "Drop the E or Not" spelling post-test Tuesday.     

Who's reading our blog:  Has your child told you about the properties of rocks and minerals (how we describe them)?  Send me his/her favorite property in the subject line of an email!  

Have a wonderful weekend with your sweet kids!
