Update on Room 204!

Hello Everyone,

As many of you know this week is conference week! I have enjoyed my time getting to know and interact with the parents of my students! As this week continues I just wanted to keep you updated on what is happening in our class.

Math: We are starting our work on multiplication. If you would like to practice your multiplication facts at home that would be a great help!

Science: We started our science unit last week, in which we are learning all about sound waves and how they travel through liquids, gasses, and solids. The students had a blast with our first experiment.

Reading: We are working on comparing and contrasting fictional and non fictional texts, as well as finding the main idea and supporting details.

Writing: Working on finishing the writing process and publishing our final drafts.

Spelling: The words this week are...
life

house
took

enough
know

challenge words:
