This Week’s Academics
Spelling– This week, we focused on the different rules for making nouns plural.
Reading– We continued reading Runaway Ralph and working on our book study
packets this week. Hopefully we can finish the book before break!
Writing- Most students worked on publishing their legends this week. Hopefully
everyone will be done by Christmas break.
Math– We continued our second unit on fractions this week. We focused on improper
fractions, mixed numbers, and equivalent fractions.
