The museum: The first day went well! We are back to business as usual until Friday when we will be the docents for 3 groups of students coming to our museum. Please wear nice pants that day. We will be wearing our ODC shirts. Parents will celebrate with us on Monday, February 10th, and we will also have our Olympics.
Math: Continue to work on math facts. Ask your child what table he or she is working on. All tables through the 12s should be memorized by the end of this quarter. Children have the opportunity to work on them daily in class orally, in written format, and on the computer. Most students need reinforcement at home! We will be continuing our study of geometry. I will post a vocab list tomorrow!
Writing: We are focusing on revision this week, specifically revising verbs and adjectives. Look for writing assignments to come home next week so that you may see your child's development in his or her writing skills!
Social Studies: We will examine the basic principles that firm the foundation of a republican form of government by discovering contributions of famous Americans including (but not limited to!) Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Martin Luther King, Thurgood Marshall, & Rosa Parks, and describing how we can serve our community, state and nation!
Science: Our study of simple machines is coming up soon!!! Get ready to be amazed!
Reading: Our American Studies unit will have us reading biographies. We will finish our novel studies and then read more Junior Great Books.
