WHAT HAVE WE BEEN UP TO?
This week in math we continued
working in Unit 3 which focuses on addition
and subtraction of whole numbers and
decimals. We learned strategies to add and
subtract decimals. We took a quiz on Friday to
see how we are doing.
This week we began working on our
new Unit of Inquiry, titled Civil Struggles. We
had Principal John is as we discussed different
struggles we know about and the varying
perspectives that result in change. We also
worked with our Social Studies curriculum to
learn about the causes of the Civil War. Next
week, we will find out more about what
happened during the Civil War.
Our spelling list this week focused on
words with the /oo/ sound. We will have the
test next week on Thursday as there is no
school on Friday.
The class was very off task this week
with the buzz about who was going out with
whom. Both 4th and 5th grades seem to be
experiencing this issue. It has taken away
much of our class academic time. I discussed
the situation with Principal John and as a class
we reviewed Friendship rights and
responsibilities as it pertains to school.
Have a great weekend! Don’t forget to
turn back your clocks on Sunday!! 
