Class News
In reading this past week, we learned about summarizing and synthesizing. In math we worked on fractions, including equivalent fractions. In writing we continued with our short fiction unit, where the students are putting their characters into everyday situations while showing what their characters do, say, think and feel in each moment. In social studies we continued to learn about Illinois history, including Illinois government. The students researched various topics, created posters, and will teach the rest of the class about their topic next week. Our next science unit is Light and will begin at the end of April.
