Updates and reminders for the week ending on  Sep 20, 2024

This Unit We Will…

Math:  This week we begin our long division unit. This unit will continue after fall break. Our end goal is to divide a 4 digit number by a two digit number. (Module 2)  

ELA: This week we enjoyed viewing a Nez Perce storyteller tell the legend of The Coyote and The Monster and completed a story map about this legend analyzing characters, setting, problem and solution.  We also independently wrote an informative paragraph containing a topic sentence, key details and a conclusion based on our small group readings from last week.

Science: Students are learning about the difference between inherited and learned traits.

Social Studies:   We completed our Nimiipuu presentations. Students created posters, Piskel animations, and Google Slideshows to present what they learned about Nimiipuu life and culture.

Moments to Celebrate!

Come to PE with your student! We kindly request that only one adult accompanies each student, and we ask that siblings not be brought along, as this time is specially reserved for you and your child. SIGN UP HERE
