Good Afternoon Families,

Over the past two weeks we have learned so much. In reading, we compared how Pizza and Sushi came to America, read about the different moon phases and practiced our Mountain Language skills. In social studies, we started our government unit focusing on the difference between the types of government, state and federal government, the three branches, and the preamble. In math, we are finding the area of boxes by multiplying mixed numbers and sorting quadrilaterals based on their properties. In science, we are continuing our learning of the planets. During explore time today we researched how to make successful egg drop contraptions. Next week, we will test our contraptions!

Over the next two weeks, I will be soloing. This means that I will be the lead teacher in the classroom while Mrs. Miller is in the building, but will not be in the classroom. Please feel free to email me with any comments or questions.

Have a great weekend!

Ms. Spencer
