In January, we will be learning the following in grammar:

• Plural Nouns - Changing y to i
• Quotation Marks
• Subject Verb Agreement
• Pronoun Verb Agreement

We'll continue working on responding to prompts using the RACE strategy. Students are working on responding using an extended constructed response and a short constructed response.

In January students will begin Fractions. Students may have some background knowledge on fractions from 2nd grade. This year they will be expected to represent fractions in a variety of ways, comparing and ordering, composing and decomposing fractions as well as partitioning fractions.

Science in January will be a fun time for all! We will start our month showing all we have learned this year by completing our first District Interim Test. The rest of the month will be all about the Earth. We will learn about the resources on Earth, how we use those resources, and how we can conserve those resources for future generations. Science will be fun in January!!

After learning about the first explorers and the formation of the United States of America, students will dedicate the month of January to learn about the constitutional republic, the three branches of the government, and the different levels of it.
