Dear Parents and Students,

The blog will not be updated while I’m on maternity leave. Please continue to use the websites during this time. Remember Spelling City will help you with the weekly spelling words and the Social Studies website will help you study for Social Studies.

I’m enjoying our little one:)  I hope everything is going well for all of you.

Have a great day!

All three classes are working on division. We have learned the partial quotients method and the traditional method. Click here for a game to practice the traditional method. Hint…you may want to turn down the volume on your speakers after a few minutes:)

The test for Chapter 1 of our Earth’s Land Resources unit is on Wednesday. You have vocabulary cards to study and your review. Do your best! The next chapter covers natural resources. We will continue working on our rock and mineral kits next week. What do you think of them so far?

Get a preview for the next Science chapter by clicking on the Rock and Mineral link under Science. Don’t forget about Spelling City or the Social Studies games for each chapter. These sites are a great way to review at home!

We made model glaciers last week to show how the earth can be eroded. What are the three main forces of erosion?

I’m a little behind on posting these….but here are some pictures from our trip to the Henry Ford Museum. We had a great time and learned a lot.  Thank you to all of the chaperones who joined us on this trip!

What was your favorite part of the museum?
