Hey everyone,
We are starting our 3rd quarter and are off to a great start. Our class is working on some new concepts in math (fractions) and seem to be comprehending them. This is doing a lot of hands-on learning so, I am looking forward to some success with this.
We are also doing "The Changing America" in our Imagine It reading series. We are tying this into our writing and social studies. The students will be working in groups to answer questions about the History Journal that they will be keeping. At the end of this they will present, as a group, what they have learned. All of this will be worked on in class.
In social Studies we are learning about Pirates in NC; specifically Blackbeard. The kids seem really excited about this topic and some have already checked out books on the subject.
Science is going to be shocking since we are working on notebooking with Electricity. There will be some hands-on experiments and demonstrations that will help the students understand what we were going over.
AR for 2nd quarter will continue till Friday. A lot of students are reading and working hard to meet their goal and the average of 85%.
As always remember to look at your child's homework each night. Everyone has a blank slate so please remember to get homework and assignments turned in. Even a Late Grade is better than a zero.
Thanks,
B. Gordon
