Week 3, Fourth Nine Weeks

Reading: We will continue to look at nonfiction texts this week as we examine the features in nonfiction texts that help to further our understanding.  We will be reading about topics that we are covering in science and Alabama history.

Language: We will be writing and illustrating our student treasure books this week.  Order forms will come home in the Tuesday Communicator.  No matter if you would like to order one or not, please fill out the form.  There will be a copy in our classroom as well as a copy in our library, so your child can always borrow a copy if you choose not to order one!

Math: This week we will be multiplying a whole number by a fraction as well as beginning to convert fractions to decimals.

Science: The students will be learning more about how the moon and Earth are "connected."

Alabama History: We will continue to investigate why the North won the Civil War as we examine the advantages that the North had.  Later this week, we be watching part of Gone with the Wind to get a better picture of life before, during and after the Civil War.  Don't worry, we will stop watching well before that infamous line in the final scene! :)
