Welcome Back!
Welcome to our class website! We hope you like it, and visit it often (at least weekly), and enjoy our work, thoughts and funny happenings!
This year we will be working hard to learn (or dig deeper for some) in all subject areas. We promise to invite you in to share in our learning whenever we are finished, but will always produce Smileboxes for glimpses during the process too!
In Social Studies we will focus on early american history, starting with the Thirteen Colonies through the American Revolution and as the Country is in it's infancy of early presidents and politics.
Science will find us discovering processes that change the earth, energy (our class has a great deal of this ;) they could be experts), waves, light/eye, and internal/external structures that help us humans and animals function in the world.
Math this year will always focus on number sense, problem solving and basic math concepts, but our MAIN goal will be to master DIVISION!!! Without a mastery of subtraction, this is hard, so please know this can get frustrating for students as it is not always as easy to conceptualize as addition and multiplication.
By the end of the year your student should be writing in complete paragraphs with supporting details, and have a strong sense of the mechanics and elements of a sentence. They will also respond to their reading through writing, and have completed several fun projects along the way!
