What are we learning this month?

In the month of September, students will start the school year learning many new things!

In Reading we will be focusing on understanding plot structure and quoting accurately from texts. 






In Math we will be finding the volume of rectangular prisms, evaluating expressions using the correct order of operations (PEMDAS), and begin working with decimal place value. 




In Writing we are working on personal narratives. Students will write a true, important story from their own life and take it through the writing process all the way to publishing. 




In Science we are working on defining motion, exploring the types of motion and the relationship between mass, force, and speed. 

In Social Studies we are learning about the many events that lead to the American Revolution.
