Beginning of Third Quarter Update

We are starting several new things this week and next week. Here is an update of some of the things we've done:

Cursive We finished all the letters on Thursday. During cursive time we will still practice cursive however. Often times we'll write final copies of papers in cursive or I'll have paragraphs for them to write in cursive.

Science Beginning Monday we will begin Unit C - Matter, Energy, and Forces. We'll begin by studying matter.

Language Arts We'll exchange books and begin the reading book On Your Mark, which has stories for the second half of the year. We begin reading Papa Tells Chita on Monday.

Math We finally began our Geometry Unit this week in math. As you probably noticed, I did not give the students a geometry grade first or second quarter because we hadn't covered it yet. On Thursday we started our first geometry unit though, and the kids seem excited about it.
