Force and Motion have been our most recent units of study in Science. Students have discovered how force affects objects and how the force can change both the position and direction an object moves. Next we look forward to a unit on space, stars, and the solar system. We will learn about the phases of the moon, seasons, as well as infomation on the other planets in our solar system. In addition to our work in class, students have been busy preparing science projects for our annual Science Fair. The written reports are due on February 15th, and the display board and log book are due on the 25th. There will be an evening viewing of the projects on Thursday, February 28th. |

Presently students are involved in a book study of the "Little House" books written by author Laura Ingalls Wilder. Each student has selected a book from the series to read. After completing the books everyone will be involved in a small group project to share the book with classmates. There will also be an individual report in addition to the AR comprehension test for the book. This series is an excellent study of descriptive writing about the pioneer days and westward movement in our nation's history. |

We are completing a unit on multiplication and division where students have learned to multiply and divide by 2 digit numbers. Students are now able to take chapter tests using the computers which allows for immediate feedback of results. The next unit will focus on angles and weight measuremnt. We will then move into geometry and measurement of area. |
