The last day of August:)


Hello Parents,

Thank you again to everyone who attended curriculum night! This week we introduced and reviewed many skills in math. In reading we focused on the difference between fiction and non-fiction. We continued to come up with ideas for our writings. The students took a tour of Prairie Branch and wrote a fiction story based on things which take place in our school every day. We have continued working with partners and building relationships within our classroom.  In science we practiced learning the steps of the scientific method. We also working our using our 5 senses to make observations.
