Here is a quick snapshot of learning in Room 12 this week.

Reading - This week our class began reading Bridge to Terabithia together. We will read part of it at home and the other sections in class together. This book brings up themes of friendship, bullying, perseverance, loss and the beauty of imagination. We will do Literature Circles for this book each night, Monday-Wednesdays.

Spelling Vocabulary- Our 20 words come from this book along with our new Unit in Science: The Periodic Table. Students need to learn the spelling and meanings of the first 15 words. You can find those on the spelling blog.

Math-We will review place value, expanded form, decimals and rounding this week along with 144 second club and speed tests. We are also doing a morning math stretch problem and our 6th grade level Math Minutes.

Writing-We begin our "Frustrations" 5-paragraph essays this week. They will be a lot of fun to read!

Science-We begin an exciting unit on the Periodic Table. Your child will have the first 10 elements memorized this week!
