Farming for Fuels Program - Thanks Volunteers!
The students learned a lot about different forms of energy and types of bio-fuels. The hands-on activities would not have been possible without our three parent volunteers. Thank you to Mrs. Young, Mrs. Huang, and Mrs. Wygonski for helping us out!
Junior Achievement
During our first session with Mr. Blocker, he introduced the class to many core concepts used in business today. The class learned about entrepreneurs, cost of business (expenses), profit, and supply and demand. We look forward to our next visit from Mr. Blocker on Thursday, October 20!
Subject Update:
- Spelling - Due to the short week, we will not have a spelling lesson!
- English - The students have learned how to write sentences correctly, how to identify and capitalize proper nouns and adjectives, and how to write common abbreviations. Next week we will quickly review these ideas and learn how to write titles correctly.
- Reading - We will continue to focus on story structure and mapping using a variety of texts. We will also continue our "word work" with analogies.
- Science - The students will be learning all about the barn owl. Taking a close look at this interesting creature will preview some of the key concepts in Chapter 6: predator-prey relationships, structural and behavioral adaptations, and habitat.
- Social Studies - We will learn about the search for a Northwest Passage and how it led to the founding of French and Dutch colonies in North America.
- Mrs. Strong's Math Class - As we continue in Chapter 3, students will learn how to estimate sums, differences, products, and quotients when working with decimals. This skill will help us check if our answers are reasonable when we add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals.
