- Math: Stanford started a new unit on multiplying and dividing fractions and Yale began a new algebra unit. Princeton and Harvard continued their work with adding and subtracting fractions.
- Reading: We continued our nonfiction unit this week and focused on finding the main idea and summarizing. Students also started meeting with their Global Reading Challenge Books Clubs. Ask your student to tell you about what they are reading for Book Club! We also got our Book Club Sets Donors Choose project funded! Here are some of the new books we got!
- Social Studies: In Social Studies, we dug a little deeper into our Civics unit and how the different branches of government work. Students are looking forward to running for positions in our own class government next week!
- Toy Company: Companies finished making their products and started to think about how they will market them to Ms. Savage’s second and third graders.
Next Friday, Leschi will be celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with an assembly. All of the 4th and 5th grade classes will be working together on a community service project to put into action some of the values of Dr. King. We will be working together to clean and beautify all of the student bathrooms around Leschi next week.
Reminders:
- In a couple weeks, we will be going on a field trip to see Sundee Frazier, the author of Brendan Buckley’s Universe and Everything In It. If you haven’t already, please fill out the permission slip and return it with your student!
