Well the first "week" is done. The kids came back with a lot of stories about their fun times over break as well as what they did on their extra days off.
A new year and a new week of things to do. This week we are reviewing in my math class; addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Then, we are going to start long division!
In ELA, we are working on text features. The kids have already learned that there were books to help you research before the internet, who knew! :) Also, we are working on writing 5 paragraph essays on what they would like to be when they grow up.
For Science, we are starting our 4th rotation of science readers of Earth Science. For Social Studies, we are onto the Midwest, which they enjoy since Illinois is included.
On a side note, we are starting to use the computer lab on Mondays to work on typing. Here is the link to their new favorite website!
