School and Classroom Information
Columbus Day- No School
Here's What We're Learning About
In math we are learning about the place value of numbers through the thousands. We will apply our knowledge to learning centers that reflect the skills being taught. It would be helpful if students started reviewing the multiplication facts they learned last year at home so they will be ready to learn more facts this year.
In science we will be learing about biomes. We will study the tundra, rainforest, deciduous forest, and desert. We will be doing web quests and different activities relating to the characteristics of each biome to help support our learning.
In social studies we be learning numerous map skills. The students will be finding map distances using scale, looking at map keys and their symbols, finding locations of world cities based on latitude and longitude, and many other key skills used by geographers.
