We are in our last week of the first quarter!! Reminder,  Friday is a half day.  There will be no lunch served and students will get out at 11:50. Please have your child wear their grey Concord Shirt for Friday.

Here is what is happening this week in room 34.....

Science: We are starting a new unit on Earth's systems (focus on weather and Earth's place in space). We will be working towards being able to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact.

Writing: We are beginning our new unit on informational writing. Our first research topic will be on an event from the US Westward Expansion. Each student will pick a topic and be placed into research teams to start gathering information about their event . We will be working on taking notes, organizing the notes, and then drafting their paper next week.

Reading: We are beginning a new unit on reading nonfiction and tackling increasingly complex texts with a focus on determining main ideas. Each student is encouraged to keep reading their choice book, but also to try a nonfiction text, article, magazine, or book too:)

 Math: We are interpreting the remainder , determining extra or missing information within problem solving, estimating the quotients with  2 digit divisor, and dividing by 2 digit divisors.    


Social Studies- We are continuing our study of the Constitution and will wrap up a group project later this week. We will also be integrating Westward Expansion into our Reading and Writing.
