What's Going On In Class?:
Math: Multiplication of decimals from now until about December 8th and multiplication of fractions from about the 9th-18.

Reading: Still practicing making & supporting inferences as well as identifying & supporting character traits, settings, and main events in a fiction text.  We will also be comparing & contrasting these story elements among 2 or more texts.

Writing: Finishing personal narratives including the peer editing process and possibly a short astronomy research essay.
**Don't forget you child can access ALL of his/her writings by logging into Google!

Science: Astronomy, focusing on the rotation vs. the revolution of Earth (ask you child about our square dance), the fact that the sun is a star it just appears bigger because it's the closest star to Earth, and the difference between the inner planets and outer planets.

Social Studies: Latitude vs. Longitude and early explorers' impact on the Western Hemisphere.

Other Info:
The students will take the Winter Benchmark of the MAP Assessment in both Reading and Math before Winter Break.  

Mrs. Lonsinger as well as Mrs. Massie, Mrs. Nothstine, and Mrs. Henrick will be in Columbus on Wednesday, December 9th at an OLAC (Ohio Leadership Advisory Council) to present on our Teacher Based Team to other teachers, administrators, and OLAC members.
