graphs. Boys and girls have also begun
learning Number Writing Verses to help with writing numbers correctly. Check out the “verses” and practice with your
child.
For Science we have begun to work
with Chapter 1 The Nature of Science.
We will be discussing how we share what we learn, tools we use to
observe, and will answer the Big Question – “What
is science?” Students will be

science, observe, and senses.
Boys and girls have been doing a
Super Job with their AR “Book Buddy” books and bags. Remember, any books your child and you
