New Units Coming Your Way

Next week, we will be finishing many of the FOSS units that we started at the beginning of the year. First graders, we are starting our Pebbles, Sand, and Silt Unit next week. Don't forget to find some rocks before it snows! You can bring them to school to share. An egg carton is a great way to story them!

2nd graders are you ready for our Water Unit? What a great connection after we finish our Air and Weather Unit next week. Remember, we have a test this week. Study...study...study.

3rd graders will be working on Solids and Liquids. What's the matter you might ask? We will be starting that Unit in two weeks. We are finishing our rock unit this week by finding out what is in granite. Rock on, 3rd graders!

4th graders are finishing their unit on Magnetism and Electricity in two weeks. We are creating series and parallel circuits this week and wrapping up our unit with a final test right before Thanksgiving break. Our next unit is the Human Body...no bones about it we will learn how we are put together.

5th graders will be ending our Variable Unit right before break as well. We are creating Olympic games to go along with our flipper experiments. We will be testing height and distance with a variety of events to test our variable skills. We will also be ending our unit with a test before we eat some turkey.
