We have made it to our final week of school before our Holiday Break begins!!! Whoohoo!
I know the kids are excited as am I about having sometime to spend with family and friends. This week during ELA we will be combining classes with Mrs. Fortson and doing workstations. I think the kiddos will really enjoy this and will get to work with another class. Our focus during work stations are the following: The students will spend 15 minutes in each station.The stations consist of a Stem station: Making ice cube trays, Christmas Around the World: this is how other countries celebrate the holidays, Ginger Bread Tradition, and Writing (The Day I got caught in a snow globe). Each class will get to do every station. Mrs. Fortson and I are excited to get to work with both classes at one time.
Math: This week we will finish up with Topic 8! Because I was out on Friday, we will have the test tomorrow. I will be introducing Fractions.
Science: We are not starting a new unit so the will get a double dose of Social Studies!
Social Studies: Standard: 4.36 We are studying the purpose and obstacles on creating the new Cumberland Settlement, including: Richard Henderson, James Robertson, John Donelson, salt licks, Transylvania Purchase, Cumberland Compact and Battle of the Bluffs
