Thank you to all parents for attending the student learning conferences - research shows students are more successful with active parent involvement!
This week in math, we have been continuing learning many different addition strategies when working with up to four digit numbers. We have been taking a problem-solving approach and have been focusing on being able to talk about the personal strategies we use to solve the problems presented to us.
In language arts, we are focusing on adding details to our sentences and providing good examples. This will help us write better by allowing us to express our ideas more clearly and entertainingly.
In social, we are working on a new project - we are designing our own countries. As we think about our country, we will be thinking about how the resources and land affect the life and people of that country.
In science, we have just finished up our reflection on our haunted house project. We are continuing to build upon and apply our knowledge of simple machines to build devices that move. As part of our building unit, if students can bring in recyclables such as cardboard, plastic bottles, bottle caps, etc. that would be very helpful!
Remember to read daily for at least 30 min and to write a reader's response at least 3 times every week!
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Hussain
