Math
Last week, we finished fractions. Students will get back their tests on Monday. This week, we are working on decimals.

Reading
We are finishing up a read-aloud called The Willoughbys by Lois Lowry. The kids are getting quite a kick out of it! It's very funny. We are continuing to work on non-fiction. Last week, students made storyboards, which came out great. This week, we will start our next set of book groups. These assignments will take the place of reading letters for the next few weeks.

Writing
Students finished editing and are typing the final drafts of their feature articles. These are coming out great!

Science
We are continuing the floating and sinking unit.

Social Studies
We are finishing up the explorers unit. Students will have a quiz on explorers on Wednesday. Last Friday, Jeff Bennett was back for his second presentation on the Dutch settlement of New York.
