We have many new beginnings happening in the classroom this week! Today we are taking out Unit 6 Assessment and will begin Unit 7 tomorrow. In Unit 7 we will be exploring multiplication and division, patterns, fact practice, seeing multiplication in parentheses, etc.
Today also begins our big animal research unit. This project covers curriculum in writing (research), reading (non-fiction), and science (animal adaptations). We are beginning our research this week and will be working on putting a research essay paper together after gathering information. Near the end of this process, we will be sending a note home about an at home project to wrap-up all of their hard work!!
We are also continuing our Early Michigan history unit in Social Studies! We are taking a look at the French voyageurs and the British, who made Michigan their home and what they brought over from their countries.
Thank you to those of you who have already turned in your conference sign-up sheets. For those who haven't, please make sure they are turned in by Wednesday, March 13th.
Coming home today is a letter and permission slip informing you about our upcoming field trip to the Detroit Historical Museum!! The field trip is on the 27th of this month. Permission slips and payment are due together on or before Monday, March 11th. Full payment to the museum needs to be handed in two weeks prior to the field trip.
