It is hard to believe that we are starting the third nine weeks today. This year has just been flying by. Today we will switch for Science, so my homeroom will be going to Mr. Bowser for Science this grading period. There they will be learning about simple machines, energy, and wetlands.
We have also started a new textbook in Social Studies. We are now learning about the regions of the United States. I have a lot of fun teaching the regions, and the students will get involved in many different projects. We are going to begin with the Southeast region.
In Reading this week, we are reading a story called Scruffy. Scruffy is an arctic wolf living on Ellsmere Island. He is a low ranking wolf in the pack, therefore his job is the baby sitter. The children have really been enjoying this story.
Tomorrow our class will be going to the book fair. Yesterday we went for our browsing day, and there were many wonderful books to choose from. Remember that you can use Boxtops for Education to purchase books.
