2nd Quarter Update!

November has arrived!  Happy Thanksgiving!  Check out the great things we are learning this month:
  • Literacy - We are learning how to make inferences while reading fiction and nonfiction texts.  We are also working to summarize what we read and compare the different points of view.  
  • Math - In math we will be continuing our work on multi-step word problems including multiplication and division with remainders.  We will begin investigating parts of shapes and angles, measuring angles, classifying triangles and types of lines. 
  • Writing - We are currently working to publish our personal narratives and will begin writing a persuasive piece in mid-November.  
  • Science - We will focus on the Moon, its phases, and how it affects life on Earth.
  • Social Studies - We will study slavery as it relates to North Carolina history, changes over time, and our upcoming field trip to Latta Plantation.
