Happy Fall to you all! As we approach the end of the first 9 weeks, your children are busy learning many new and interesting things. We are learning about nutrition and the food pyramid. They are discovering ways to stay healthy and be more active including how poor nutrition and lack of exercise can affect theirr bodies. We are also learning about Native Americans of North America. They are exploring how the Native Americans obtained food, shelter, and clothing in their region of our continent. Along with this unit the kids are learning map skills. We are continuing to work on personal narratives and using descriptive language to make our writing more interesting. In math, the children are working hard with their multiplication facts and are soon to learn long division. Please practice multiplication facts daily...this is very important!!! Well, that about sums it up! I hope you are finding that your child is excited about school and learning a lot! Until next time....Mrs. Wright
