Curriculum Please be sure to click on Curriculum in left hand column for additional information.

Literacy -  We are working on the skills of important ideas, author's purpose and vocabulary in context.   The children are reading non-fiction books related to our Social Studies unit on the Revolutionary War.

Math - The children are learning about fractions. We are teaching the children about fractions in simplest form, adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators, estimating, and problem solving.  In all aspects of math the children are expected to be able to write to explain their work.  

Science - Students are researching inventors born in their state.  They are learning to collect facts from multiple sources, and put these facts into a well-written report.  The children are also learning how to cite their work.  Please ask to see the note-taking sheet, bibliography information, and guidelines for the final report.  The final report will be due: Monday, February 13.  Students are asked to print 2 copies, one for me and one for their binder.  Next, students will learn about "Light."  There is a cool website about light listed on the resource page under Science, which your child may want to explore. 

Social Studies -  We are reading about the events that led to the Revolutionary War.  The children will  use maps to locate important places associated with the Revolutionary War.  Students are creating Colonial posters to show resistance to the British taxes.  The children have been given directions for their state project.  Although this is not due until March 30, starting on this now would be beneficial. 

All curriculum areas: Any test that is graded must be signed by a parent or guardian and returned  to school.  This policy is to insure that you are aware of your child's progress in each curricular area.
