Hello Gold Rush Families
We have been working on many important things is class and
want you to know all about them!

MATH:  In math we have been starting a new unit, fractions.  We are
doing a review on them and then we are going on to the harder
things.  Our last unit was finding the volume on a rectangular prism
and splitting a rectangle in half to find the volume too.


Reading:  In reading we are doing our book club books.  We are also
doing an entry to what we are thinking, themes, why the author put
that, and what problems does the character have.  Almost everyday
we meet with our book club group and have a deep discussion about
what is going on in the book.


Science/ Social Studies:  Right now we are doing science.  In science
we did an energy project about an energy source.(Biomass, Wind
Power, Hydropower, Geothermal.) Also, we will be working on the
digestive system and how it works.


Writing:  In writing we have been doing essays.  In those essays we
have been writing about our new energy source that we chose.  We
have to write about where we want to put it(State), what would the
company need, and How it will effect.  We just finished writing
paragraph of all certain things.

This week parents can come in and see what their kid has been doing
in class.  (“The Celebration Of Learning”) Also we have the
Thanksgiving feast. Parents can come in and but tickets to have
the food that the lunch ladies make.  We are doing the canned food
drive this week and we are helping the Parker Task Force.
Remember this week we also have the BOOK FAIR in the library!
