Greetings from Room 116!

Happy April to everyone!! Thankfully, March went out like a lamb. Hopefully, spring has truly sprung! In accordance with our changing seasons, we have launched many new units of study this week, as you can see:

ELA: In Spelling, we worked on contractions. We also did some PARCC practice and finished our historical fiction books.

Math: We began the next module on Geometry by reviewing vocabulary and classifying different polygons according to their attributes.

Science/SS: We worked on our animal stories and learned more about Pilgrim life. We also conducted several short- and long-term experiments to explore evaporation and condensation.

Other: In Computers, we started partner research for our Extreme Weather unit. During Enrichment, we discussed another tale from India that focused on the importance of inner strength and beauty. At our All-School Meeting, we learned that the Safe Body Poster designs of several classmates have been selected for display around our school.

Best wishes to all for a super spring weekend!

Sincerely,

Ms. Feeney

 

P.S. Remember to read and practice math facts!
