• In math we will be learning how to add numbers together.
• In science we are learning about Matter.

First grade is having a “BOO”rific month.

• In phonics, we have been learning our digraph sounds (ch, sh, th, wh, and ck). We have put those sounds together with our other sounds to write and read words.
• In reading, we have been reading fiction stories and leaning all about story elements (characters, setting, problem and solution).
• In math, we are learning how to add and subtract numbers to 20. In science, some of us have learned about plants by planting lima beans.
• We are now learning about Parents and their Offspring. As you can see, we have been extremely busy with our first graders 😊 We are extremely proud of them and can’t wait to see more learning growth.

2nd Graders

In 3rd grade,

• For reading, we are finishing up Unit 3: Government for the People and informational writing. We will circle back to a fiction unit: Comparing Points of View with narrative writing in the beginning of Nov.
• We have also just finished multiplication and division, but we're going to continue to use those skills to find the area of quadrilaterals. Topic 5 in math is all about Quadrilaterals and is very vocabulary heavy so please make sure to check in with your child to hear all about parallelograms, rhombuses, trapezoids, rectangles, and squares.
• In Science, we're learning all about plants...how gravity affects their growth, their parts and function, and how they reproduce.
• This is the perfect time of year to set up a family read time! Set aside 30 minutes every night to read books together and have conversations about the characters or the new information learned. Happy reading!

4th grade:

• Science Unit 3: Humans continue to explore Earth’s place in space. Gravity and energy influence the formation of galaxies, including our own Milky Way Galaxy, stars, the Solar System, and Earth. Humankind’s need to explore continues to lead to the development of knowledge and understanding of our Solar System.
• Math Topic 5 Recall multiplication facts with factors up to 12 and recall related division facts with automaticity. Explore the division of multi-digit whole numbers using estimation, rounding, and place value.
• ELA Unit 4: Unit 4 works with understanding different points of view in literature. We will examine both the point of view and perspectives of characters in this unit. For writing we are focusing on creating narratives..
• Social Studies: Florida Government

Our 5th grade rockets are...

• In writing, students are continuing to work on their expository 5 paragraph essay with multiple sources.
• In math, students are learning how to solve multi-step word problems using multi-digit multiplication and multi-digit long division. Students also are learning how to check their work with the inverse operations.
