Language Arts: We are publishing our informational book based on our research. Our focus is developing and supporting main ideas in our writing as well as incorporating transition words (such as first, second, and most importantly). We've learned that these words help guide the reader through the explanation. We have talked about the various types of expository writing and are practicing them in class. We are doing this alongside the writing we do in all subjects each day!
Social Studies: In Michigan history we looked at the period of time when Europeans came over and encountered the Native Americans. Now we are focused on how our land became a territory and then a state.
Science: We are beginning to explore more in our unit on Variables. This unit will last for several weeks and it is a lot of fun!
