A sad good-bye to our student teachers!!

We will miss them.


Room 120

Here  is a brief outline of where we will be headed this quarter. 

Our focus for 3rd quarter Social Studies curriculum will focus on government and the Civil War.   We wil be putting the 3 Little Pigs on Trial.  Stay tuned for the details.  We will end the quarter with a study of the Civil War. I am currently working on getting a trip to the Civil War Museum planned. This quarter's Science unit is my favorite: Rocks and Minerals. Your child will be an expert in mineral identification by the end of the quarter. There is always a request from the students to bring in rocks from home.  Please discourage this, I have an excellent selection of minerals the distict purchased for the classroom.
This quarter of Math covers Units 5 & 6. Both of these units deals with fractions.  We will also be learning some new ways to graph data. In Reading and Language Arts this quarter we will start with an animal theme. We will be doing novel units around this theme in a few weeks.  The first half of the quarter we will write a research paper about a famous person from history.  We will then end with some persuasive writing.
