Welcome Back to School

We had a fantastic first week of school.  The kids did a great job listening to all of the beginning of the year reminders and housekeeping stuff.

SCIENCE
We began our first unit this week—Process Skills.  This unit will focus on the skills that are needed to be a great scientist.  We discussed this week what it means to make good observations, and how it important it is for a scientist. 

MATH
We are beginning the year with a quick review of the addition and subtraction strategies the students learned in third grade.  

SOCIAL STUDIES
We began our map skills unit.  Our first two lessons discussed the solar system and our planet.

READING
We have been building our reading stamina this week.  Each day we are discussing the best ways to read a book,  We have also been practicing the length of time we are really reading.  Next week I will meet with each student to discuss their reading needs
