Go Tigers!

Language Arts:  We are working hard on our expository writing unit.  We are learning about the various types of expository writing that we see in the world.  We are doing this alongside the writing we do in all subjects each day!

Social Studies:   In Michigan history we are looking at the period of time when Europeans came over and encountered the Native Americans.  We are learning about their relationships and how they changed during this time in our history.

Science:  We are starting to explore more in our unit on Variables.  This unit will last for several weeks and it is a lot of fun!

Fantabulous Friday!

Language Arts:  In our expository writing, we are working on 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 are doing this alongside the writing we do in all subjects each day!
