This week we have started a Physical Science Unit. The Unit will carry us through about 7 lessons over the next few weeks. In Religion we talked about the Epiphany and will be creating our own bumper stickers that encourages us to see the good in every person. In math we continue to work with equations/division/multiplication. Please oh Please work with your children on their multiplication facts if they do not have them down pat. Knowing their multiplication facts makes working with equations so much easier. This week in reading we have broken off into 3 different book clubs. We will work on specific strategies within the 6 Traits of Reading. I am very excited about the change!!
