Curriculum Interview
Science - We are in the middle of a Project Lead The Way unit on the structure and function of the human body.  Students began assembling a miniature (and simplified) human body on paper last week.  Pictures are on Seasaw.

Math - In class this week we will study U.S. coins, their names and values, and how to add and subtract with them.

Literacy - We are reading books about the human body to support the learning of our Project Lead The Way unit on the human body.  We will also read a few fiction books and carefully watch the feeling of characters and how they change across a text.  Ask you students about Shelia Rae The Brave.

Writing - Students are going to be doing some writing around the new Project Lead The Way unit on the Human Body.  Before that begins I will be teaching the students to stretch out their stories into multiple sections and pages.

Word Study - This week students are working on the words from our human body unit: skeleton, muscles, brain, lungs, heart, protection, and communication.

Many of you sent me pictures from EXPO, thank you.  I am posting them in the Room K-3 Photo Gallery, the password was emailed out this week.
