​What's Been Happening In Class?  

• Writing: This week our focus was on getting ready for the Economics Fair and learning how to revise a story or essay. 
• Reading:  This week we began researching our PBL project on Habitat Loss. The kids have all chosen a region/area to focus on. We've been learning about our specific area and the habitat loss issues that are associated with that region. 
• Math: We wrapped up the unit on Fractions (comparing fractions and equivalent fractions) with a test today! We will begin a Measurement Unit when we return from Spring Break. It will primarily focus on perimeter and capacity measurement (gallons, quarts, pints, cups, ounces).  
• Science:  We wrapped up our unit on Space.  We'll start our next unit when we return from Spring Break. The next unit is: Ecosystems, Environments and Food Chains. 
• Social Studies:  We wrapped up our Economics Unit this week!
• Enrichment: Movie Reward Day for filling our Class Dojo bucket.
