What we are learning...
This week in reading we started the week off making personal connections to the characters in Wonder. We continued to talk about poetry and the importance of inferring information based on pictures.
This week in writing learners wrote different types of poems. Learners used the forms of concrete poems and Haikus to write poems that are related to their interests.
This week in math we began talking about fractions and how we can find equivalent fractions and the common denominator of fractions to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators.
In science this week, we finished up our investigation on the different types of energy. We will start our next unit on force and motion. Please check your learner's digital portfolio and Seesaw account for the amazing learning happening in the classroom.
This week in social studies, learners continued exploring the causes of the American Revolution including the French and Indian War, The Boston Tea Party, and The Boston Massacre.

Thank you to everyone who came out to see Wonder with us! We had such a good time, and we are so glad that we were able to spend this special time with our learners!
