Hello Parents,
I haven't updated our blog for several weeks, but I can assure the classroom has been buzzing! Mrs. Evarts has been solo teaching for the past three weeks and it's been amazing to watch. She's introduced the students to many new games that correlated with each day's math lesson, she has made reading from CKLA interesting and engaging for the students, and she incorporated a number of "technology helpers" along the way. She has done a phenomenal job with the students and has been a wonderful asset to our classroom. We'll begin to team teach more and more over the next few weeks as we transition into me taking over all subjects again. I've missed teaching the kids and it's been fun to work in a few lessons this week. Mrs. Evarts will be finished with her student teaching on March 26th, and we will definitely miss her.
Curriculum:
Reading: We're continuing to work through the Renaissance Unit. That unit should be completed by the end of the month and we'll move on to our Native Americans Unit. Students will learn about how Native Americans used the land for survival. They will discover how different groups of people across the land survived in different ways depending on the geographic region they lived in and write an essay to highlight the newly acquired information.
Writing: During the month of March, students will focus on a variety of writing strategies as well as writing for a variety of reasons/audiences. We'll move on to the Native American essay in April.
Math: We're finishing the fractions chapters this week and will move on to algebra patterns and graphing next week.
Social Studies: We are currently focusing on the forming of the U.S. Government formation.
Science: Mrs. Evarts has been teaching the students about circuits and will begin teaching a unit on magnets next week.
