Announcements
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Winter Open House!
Our school had the opportunity to have the district's big MO map last week! We reviewed the skills we learned in geography by identifying the major cities and rivers in our state. We stood on our 8 border states, and we practiced our cardinal and intermediate directions by playing four corners. It was such a neat experience!
In the Classroom
We have spent the last two weeks studying Economics. Students learned about wants and needs, as well as the types of resources. We also studied supply and demand.
We completed our Government magazine by reading about fighting for voting rights. Students used the various texts to practice comparing/contrasting, finding the main idea, and putting events into sequential order. We will start our next unit after Winter Break.
Students worked hard to finish their informational pieces about their person. We took this piece through all of the writing stages; brainstorming, research and note-taking, organizing facts, rough drafts, editing and revising, and finally publishing and illustrating!
We finished Unit 3 in math last week. It focused heavily on addition, subtraction, and multiplication. We started Unit 4 this week and will be studying measurement and geometry. We will finish this unit after Winter Break.
