Week of September 23

In class, we are working on narrative writing in Language Arts.

Math will be focused on problem solving strategies and word problems.
 
 
We will wrap up our Science unit on matter and physical/chemical changes.

PE is on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday so please wear appropriate shoes!  Our goal is for the boys to be able to run an 11 minute mile and our girls to run a 12 minute mile. Several students have already accomplished this goal!  Good job!

Just a reminder, make up photos are on Wednesday, September 25.
 
Thank you for checking in!
